Reflections
It’s hard sitting down and trying to remember everything that has happened in a period of time. These snippits of life seem to pop into your head as if they were queued on a film roll. Just a moment ago a memory of how my schedule for freshman year gave me a break after a class to watch Top Gear every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Clarkson and the bunch would always lead me into a nice mid-morning nap. This little flashback has somehow reminded me that I needed to do something work for tomorrow so here I’m typing this up while Abra is doing some maintenance to itself. So while it’s doing that I’m sending out a few words.
It’s quite often that something small will remind me of something large from my past experiences. When this does happen I can’t help but smile to myself. Pictures are great, material objects look good but ultimately it’s the memories that I’ve found to be important. That is something that can’t be taken away, no matter what happens. These experiences shape who we are and I’m proud to have quite a few significant experiences under my belt to guide me.
Speaking of reflections, what was a doing a year ago from now? Well, I was having an American Day at ASDA! It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal since everyday is an overly American day now. Just a year ago it was. Surround by a completely different culture for less than a month, some Walmartesque signs become a big deal! Have a read on what was going on 30 September 2008:
