Another typical Saturday morning, struggling to get awake. But all the other Saturdays before today have gone on in this exact same fashion: one tries to get in a reasonable amount of sleep within a limited timeframe, wakes up still groggy as can be...Eventually he'll snap out of his lethargy when he goes out on his morning errands & other whatnot. In a few hours, he'll be ready to take on the world, newly invigorated & eager for adventure. On days like this, he has to be: the road is once again calling out, the world is out there for him to explore.
Three days prior I made another journey to Muncie, the details of which I brought up in an earlier entry. The neighborhoods on & off campus at that time were gradually beginning to come back to life with a passion though some folks didn't even know, much less want to admit, that they would. Then the next day & yesterday - leading up to today -, more of the same: more students beginning to enter the picture, some of them about to experience their first full day of life who knows how many miles removed from home. Today & possibly tomorrow, they'll be celebrating this first weekend back there like you wouldn't believe, some ending up getting more carried away than others in the excitement & mayhem that surrounds these few days of settling in. All the while, life goes on & there is plenty of it to be lived. And soon I will have so much more to say, so much more to write about, so much more to give: my dedication & support for this place (among other things) has not faded away or become MIA. No,
both of the above are still active, alive & well.
