I honestly didn’t go to any reflection place around campus because I simply couldn’t get a second this week to go to the place I had in mind and really sink into the moment. SO, instead, I spent some quality reflection time during my Intro to Global Economics class today. It’s a fantastic class; I highly recommend each of consider taking it, having a bit of knowledge in economics is never a bad thing. Anyways, it’s a three hour class that meets once a week from 6-9pm in the B School. Naturally, I ate a HUGE meal beforehand and my eyes started to droop the moment I sat down. As Professor Cook (great guy!) took the attendance and got sidetracked by telling us a story about his childhood, I slowly sunk into my reflection period. It might have only lasted 10 seconds, but it felt like an eternity.<\/p>\n

I’m back in Maine. I’m following a narrow and substantially overgrown path towards the sound of crashing waves. The wild grass comes up to my shoulders and the occasional wild raspberry bush scrapes my calf, but I know the trip is worth it. I make this trip whenever I need to, whenever I need to escape from…basically whatever. The wild grass now only reaches my waist and I can easily see the ocean opening up in front of me. All of the sudden, the wild grass is out of my vision and all that is left is a short drop off to the open ocean. There is absolutely nothing between me and Portugal at this point, just miles and miles and miles of open blue. I hop down to the rocks and descend towards the powerful ocean spray. My dog knows exactly what is going on; she’s not trying to chase seagulls or chew on sun baked lobster remnants, she sits right next to me and we both just stare. It’s beautiful.<\/p>\n

“KAYLIN. Is that how you pronounce your name son??”<\/p>\n

“Er, no. It’s Kelin”<\/p>\n

Guess I’m back in class<\/p>\n
