This morning I drove home to H-town. Not a bad drive - three hours down an empty interstate most of the way. What I've realized is that these drives home from college are way cool in the fact that they allow me to think more clearly than any other point in my day. What else is there to do while driving down a lonely interstate than contemplate any and all things? And I've been doing of that a lot now that I've graduated - what has passed, what is to come, what should be the next step, and those I've met along the way that have played some part in this journey.
Oftentimes if I try to force the issue no answer ever comes, but the free-thinking mode I get in during long drives is almost like a phenomenon. Answers to my questions come when they won't any other times, and problems are put in perspective as I tear across the vast open road. It's hard to explain but I've really come to enjoy these solitary drives.
I start the internship tomorrow, and hopefully will get some sort of schedule in place. I've still got to make time to get back to San Marcos and get the rest of my stuff cleared out.
