Today I said goodbye to the baby I bore and raised for almost two years, sitting heavy in my mind the thought that I may never see her again. We don't know what she's destined for after the competition; perhaps she'll be bought and find a new home on a lovely plot of land, or sit in storage, wrapped up, waiting for someone to come along and bring her back to life for all the world to see. I wish I could buy her, and put her on that plot of land next to our cabin. Radiant and Rachel. That way I could see her everyday I'm up there. I'm gonna miss that house.
It's weird. Going back to school after working for almost 4 months straight on such a large-scale engineering project is like trading in a Ferrari for a Volvo. I was going so fast! Now I'm back in a comfortable, boring, but necessary situation. Never have I been more ready to graduate and be done with school for a while.
At least I have my new job to look forward to! And since it's pretty much going to be me doing the same thing that I did on Radiant House, it will be like things never changed.
Tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I remember. Involve me, and I learn.
