hello

post before I sleep.

Today, I passed the basic motorcycle course that I've been spending my past two weekends at. Now, to actually truly think about the risk and reward of owning a motorcycle. It's crazy to think that I've been watching mordeth13 videos on and off since freshmen year of highschool (a motorcycle vlogger), and now I can actually ride a motorcycle. (Also, quick note...learning was surprisingly easy. I think biking a ton through the city recently helped me.)

Tomorrow, I start my seventh week of work. These past six weeks have really flown past me. I was talking to a friend today about what I expected after college, and I truly don't know. Growing up in high school, I saw those who came before me go off to colleges, join different fellowships, do awesome things, and I thought -- that's what I want to do for my next four years, and for the most part, I did a lot of that. Funny how if you actually get what you expect.

But I don't have a roadmap in my mind for the next four years. Work at Signal? For some reason, getting ultra-involved in a church never appealed to me in the way that getting involved in a fellowship did, but maybe that's the way. This area from graduation to marriage is where I'm at I suppose. I don't know. I want to climb mountains, I want to take weekend trips to Canada, west of the Midwest, I want to see new sights. I want to wake up to fresh air in a tent rather than with a headache from a hangover.

But there is also much to see and learn in Chicago. I want my faith to flourish in these next years.  I want to become an expert on DevOps. I want to make some great friends.

please?
