Skip the reflection ... or not

Well ... it's the day before classes start. Ten years ago last Friday, I stepped onto Purdue for the first time as a freshman.

10 years.

A decade.

Wow.

It's amazing how the time goes.

If you had asked me 10 years ago to describe what I'd be doing in a 10 years, I probably would have said:

- Working as a programmer or computer consultant
- Managing a decent income
- Married, maybe with a child

Amazing where life takes you, huh? I never would have guessed I'd still be in school. Though, I also never would have guessed that I would have traveled as much as I have, or taken as many cruises, or met some truly fabulous people ....

I guess you take the good with the bad. Sometimes you want life to be predictable, but if it was always predictable, that'd get pretty boring, wouldn't it?
