Why am I always subconsciously looking into the future? I seldom take the time to appreciate the present moment. All too often, I find myself thinking about how I will decorate my dorm room for next year - something I don't have to even *begin* thinking about for another six months. I don't take the time to think through small, current assignments; instead, I'd much rather be thinking about what I'll do for my final exams. I guess it can't help having had England to look forward to for well over 150 days (believe me, I've been counting), but now that the countdown is finally at 28 and the days are flying by, my mind keeps jumping past what will surely be the most amazing vacation of my life and thinking about what's to come in April, May, July, September...
It's not fair.
Maybe trying to see life through the lens of a camera will finally slow me down a bit. The past few days alone have made a difference as I've wandered the halls with my camera in my hand, randomly photographing whatever intrigues me. I'm hoping it will all lead to helping me slow down and see the beauty in everything, and cause me to slow down and look twice.
I have dinner with Richard Dreyfuss on Monday night. I hope it will be life-changing. I could use some more life-changing moments right now.
