Today is like a breath of air. You’re out in the ocean. The waves are tumbling and the air is humid. You take a deep breath and it comes out salty and stingy and yet it feels comforting.
Today is windy, rainy, and full of hope. I feel energized. There’s no time to hold off anymore. Next week are final exams and it’s crunch time. I feel excited.
I feel excited. Now’s my chance to show off. I’m gonna show off all my hard work and all the times I learned on the fly. It’ll be a combination of dedication and intellect, though perhaps more dedication than savviness.
Today is like today’s breath of air. The wind is immense, the air is full of pollen. All these ideas swirl around in my mind like the pollen outside. Gusts of air shake the tops of trees and bend their trunks. Threatens to topple me over. Powerful forces at play, no doubt. But I know I am secure inside, because I have my feet on solid ground. I’ve rooted myself on the steadiness of the past quarter, and the powerful exterior winds can’t shake what’s inside. I am cautious but not afraid.
