All around me the telltale signs that the school year is coming to a close are shining directly in my face. The Sun's warmth is more intense (when available), leaves magically seem to have appeared on trees and birds happily chirp and warble within them, and my senior friends are swiftly finishing up their capstone projects. Seniors? Capstones?

I know I'm not a senior by normal standings because, as an undergraduate, I hold a full-time staff position with PLU. Seeing most of my friends take part in preparations for graduation does make me feel like I'm getting up there though.

I'm not afraid of what the future might bring but, I must say, it seems to be coming far sooner than I could've ever imagined.
