Dining for One, mmmm humble pie.

Alright. The new semester charged with new classes, new people, new apartment, it's all very something. There is so much to learn in my classes for example, and soo much to read from scholarly journals and books. I am feeling a bit disorganized still, and find myself awaiting the day I have in my hand my very own ink cartridge and paper, and the list goes on...however, on the flip side I realize how I have been able to accomodate all of these needs. I am certain though, that I will be quite gleeful when I am driving my car again!

Growing up/dining for one/Humble pie eating: I guess at a certain point it began to hit me that my childhood is over, and that is sort of sad...so many years anticipating growing up, all of those "don't grow up too fast" sayers...Now, while making dinner it hits me in that way, and it also makes me smile because I am dining on my choice, and hey, I could even dress up if I wanted to! So, finding a balance as I grow up with this newfound sense of "dining for oneness/change from what I am used to" with making sure to eat some humble pie often enough, is what I am after.

For the record, in Everything is Illuminated, one of the character refers to it as eating a piece of humble pie, and I like it.
