Answering questions about life in post grad
Maybe some people aren’t like this, but I spend a lot of time in the past, some time in the future, and not nearly enough time in the present. Life these days is shaping up to make me even more like this. Dreaming of classes full of students, off campus trips downtown, and weekends away from Cville. Dreaming backwards.
