Dear Diary

I have never been a fan of writing in a journal. I feel like if I’ve made it to the end of the day, the last thing I need to do is write it all down again. A mumbled Hail Mary suffices.

But for documentation’s sake, I want to note that the past two weeks have shaken the snow globe of my professional, residential, and educational life. It has been a whirlwind, and some flakes are still finding their resting place.

Turning from one chapter to the next is exciting, even when the pages are turning too fast. This summer, I hope I can slow them down a bit. I look forward to enjoying cold drinks with family and friends I adore, and central air conditioning with the man I love.
