As I finish out my finals, I've realized all of the things that I have learned and the many journeys I've taken to get there. Another milestone is that I have reached the highest level of my mathematics education and I feel really comfortable with that subject after a really long time. I even found a place for research and a poster presentation that went over really well, and is a great launchpad to further my project next year.
But there is one thing that I wish that I would've changed. A unique combination of factors came together to make this semester one of my most stressful. Mostly due to an accelerated workload due to the economy. I wish that I had more time to find someone to truly be friends with and not drown in perspectives and considerations.
That's why yesterday, when I hung out with one of my few good friends here, I felt like I was truly a living being. I always find that moment when someone takes time out of their day to be with me a special occasion. When I'm with friends, there isn't any negative and emotionless world to search for true authenticity. When I'm with them, we make the world our own.
And I'm happy that for my senior year, I'll have a chance to find that world. The most difficult portion of my work will be complete after this semester and in the next one I can gratefully balance my journeys through the atmosphere with times that help me be who I am.
Have a pleasant day,
Justin Reid
