welcome to wheaton

i believe i coined a new phrase recently: collegiate mortality: the sudden realization of a: how long it's been since you were a freshman, b: how quickly the time has passed, and/or c: how much longer school as a stage of life lasts. just like real mortality, but for college students. since arriving back on campus yesterday, i'm already in full swing of it. i may have said this before, but it seems fitting that my final semester would be the one where i felt most in-place, most accepted, and most included of any of my semesters. yep. fitting.

but anyway. there is much to write about, and it is very late. remind me to write about being at home, the "joys" of travel, packing, and moving, the first few days here in chicago, and all there is to look forward to.
