I'd Like To Buy A Vowel

So I guess this is why they call it the wheel of fortune - one minute you're all the way down at the bottom, and the next minute you're wondering if it gets any better than this. Of course, we always keep believing that life could be a little better than it is already, but it's nice when it starts to get hard to believe.

It's summer in 5 days. I actually enjoyed taking my orgo test today, because apparently I actually learned that stuff and the two days I spent preparing for the final were not wasted at all. Yesterday I found out that I have a pretty good shot at a paying job for the summer, which is both unexpected and much needed. Of course, I also know that I get to take a new road after this summer, but even this summer is going to be another good one (even if it's work-filled and not as leisurely as the last one). The Kentucky Derby winner this year was quite promising, making me believe once again that this might be the first year in almost 30 that this horse might go all the way and take the Triple Crown. I also got my hands back on my car today and celebrated with a long random drive with Gina, listening to the 90's mix she dug out of my CD's that Lauren, Lindsay and I made over a year ago.

But, like I said, we're always convinced it could be better. I wonder how different I'm going to be on Friday when I leave HC for the last time in a while - I'm sure I'll come back sometime, but I don't know when. I'll have made the decision to walk away from one path of life for a completely unexpected one, and I'm not really sure what that's going to feel like. I'm already getting more scared by the day about it, but it's a good kind of scared. All I have to do is remind myself that it's far better than the fear of never knowing.
