It is 8:27 (in the a.m.). I haven’t been awake this early in nigh on three months. The reason for my early musing is that I am in between what could prove to be my second-to-last final ever and my last final ever at Belmont. I don’t have much to say about it, but a brief thought seemed appropriate. Some moments can be repeated, but not this one.
In a few hours, my life’s work (education) will be over. On Saturday I will walk in single file with a thousand of my peers and experience my second baptism. A death; a rebirth. Then I will begin my life’s work all over again, as if none of this ever happened. An infant in the world of reality, yet more experienced and “educated” than many. But, it’s only Tuesday. So, for the next three days, my life has no purpose. I will spend the remainder of the week in the purgatory of education. Ha! After 4 years of avoiding my religious upbringing, it is now that it becomes meaningful/useful to me. How apropos.
