Still Fighting It

  

Yesterday took my last final and rounded out the semester. Geeeeeeeeez -- how can a whole semester go so fast? I guess a lot happened:

• Proposed
• Found out my job
• Helped run a Capstone project with $50 K worth of funding
• Survived as squad comm of CS-38
• Lots of visits home :)

Life kind of sneaks up on you, and I'm sure the nervousness/anxiety I feel about my career, or marriage, or life in general is the exact same nervousness/anxiety I felt about going to high school for the first time, or graduating. or bootcamp, or being a full-time missionary, or taking that Astro final... its that anxiety of thinking that the scariest thing you'll ever do is whatever is next on your horizon.  That's why I like this Ben Folds song -- because that battle of the unknown is something we have to fight our whole life, and everyone does, but its going to be ok.  Whenever I start worrying or thinking too much, I just calm down enough to remember that I've been down this same road of anxiety before, just about a different thing -- then I say a mini-prayer of comfort and thanks, and everything is ok.  

So hang in there.
