Yesterday, when you were young,
Everything you needed done was done for you.
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone,
What can you do?
You and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now.
You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step,
The night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get
But you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah, go where you want to go
Be what you want to be,
If you ever turn around, you'll see me.
I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself
And you and me walk on
Yeah you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can't go back now
--The Weepies, "Can't Go Back Now"

There's only 5 weeks of school left, and just when things are getting good, they're almost ending.
Last last week, I spent spring break in Hong Kong, and it was one of the best spring breaks I've ever had. More than the trip itself, the business meetings, the food, and the shopping, I would say the best part was hanging out with some really awesome people I would have probably never gotten to know if it wasn't for this trip. I repeat myself a lot when I say that, but I truly truly mean it. I've always been a sentimentalist kind of person, one who thinks building relationships is more important than a lot of other things, so this trip was like a breath of fresh air.
Just like I wished HK didn't end, in the same way I kind of wish freshman year wasn't ending so quickly. 5 weeks left of classes, and about 2 more for finals, and I'll be done with the first year of college.
There were moments this year when I wish that I'd done things differently, but I'm getting to be in a good place.
Not that I'm superstitious, but according to my zodiac horoscope, 2009 is supposed to be a great year. 3 months in, and I'm starting to agree.
