Happy New Year!

Here we are again, another Fall semester. Sometimes it's difficult to believe that I've been in school for over twenty years, I'm only 27! It is strange that for the second semester in that time that I'm the teacher, as well as the student. I can't express what a gratifying experience it is to be a teacher and I hope that I have many more years of it ahead of me. Yet, there's something about this semester that's repelling me a little. I don't know if it's because I'm embarking on what may be my last school year in a while or exactly what. I just have this nagging feeling of sadness. It's like, whatever lies ahead after this year, it's likely that it'll never be like this again. I'll never be the student in the same way I am now, nor the teacher. Even if I were to pursue my PhD, which would be a pretty similar role to what I have now, it will be later and my life will have changed in all sorts of unimaginable ways.

So, cheers to the new year!
