Crescent

And so as time goes on,
My friend,
Sun fades to moon,
And back again.
The waves still crash,
And what is more,
The end is clear no more.

Rising,
Falling,
Left,
Then right.
So close you are,
And yet so far,
And yet we keep on living life,
As if nothing happened--
Future Bright--
Ignoring past for better or for worse.

The cycle continues.
The sun,
Rising once more,
Taking its place in the light of day,
Will stay,
At least for now.

I watch it all from my window,
And think of all that has passed.

It doesn't matter to me now.
If the moon return,
So be it.

Let it take the sky and pierce my heart,
For it is already dead.

Eligible

So today I found out that I am eligible for the UCSB history department's Departmental Honors Program.

This means that my hard work had actually been paying off and I am finally seeing some of the fruits of that.

At the end of this year, I'll know whether or not I get into the senior honors thesis program and if I do get in and survive... I'll be one of twelve history majors to do it.

Theoretically then I will be looking pretty academically sexy for grad school.

In the meantime, I just have to enroll in a few more classes that will make myself look academically sexy for the senior honors thesis program.

Onward to victory!
