I’ve been putting off making a graduation post (since December 18th) for a while now. I think because anchoring (nautical joke) this commencement through visualization is a little terrifying. It feels more real through recording it. Now i have to face the fact that things will never be the same as they were before i walked that stage. Which is a joke, but also both a loss and a celebration.

Consistency and the loss of it—no matter how grueling or exciting or difficult or enlightening it was throughout the last three-ish years—leaves a hole.

Time feels odd when milestones are crossed; was it only yesterday I was chopping potatoes (horrendously) in fundies, or was it ten years ago? Was it last month that I finished restaurants, or five seasons ago? None of those answers are true in the empirical sense, but their existence doesn’t change the fact that the last almost-three years are now over.

I did my undergraduate, and I came out with an associate’s in culinary arts and a bachelor’s in applied food studies. I also came out with new skills, scars, friends, connections, and a wildly different way of looking at the world. One of my professors wisely said during my weekly tweaking sessions for my capstone project (seen on slides 9-13!) that the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know. All I could say was “so true!” because what else do you say? I came out of CIA knowing more than I had before, and with a greater awareness that I know less than I think. That’s a gift more than it is an achievement. Yes, I read all those books and wrote all those papers and worked all those services, but what I received is less a representation of what i DID, and more what I’ve had the opportunity to absorb from the world around me.

We—the most general “we” possible—are all very small and young, and as far as we know, we are all alive for the first time. I’m very lucky and grateful to be living how I do now, and I’m both excited and terrified to continue figuring out what I do/don’t know. I’m proud of who i am and what I’ve done. The unknown is not a terrifying thing; it should be a reflection of what is left to be known, and a great love for the pursuit of knowledge.

I've been gone for a while to preserve my sanity and only recently realized that everyone who i communicated with primarily on here likely thought I was dead. I have returned to dispel those rumors. I am not dead. Since (checks notes) October, much has happened, but I: got bangs, made poi, planned and ran the opening for the Food History exhibit at school, had to serve cucumber tuna jelly with bell peppers, olives, and onions, huskies got bigger, E Man took my money to fund the Bubly Tower, Europed it, saw my wonderful cousins, ate fish and chip, saw Father, drank legally in Europe, came back, saw dogs, got really into Moby Dick, became able to legally drink in the U.S., got back into Dungeon Dragon, am about to start learning the bass, got REALLY into solitaire and nerts, got back into painting, started wearing heels, and I got a class garden patch that's become my pride and joy. Much has happened. Have been "making big moves", via "moving in silence", as the kids say. I'm getting off of this to preserve my sanity once more. Anyways (throws this and runs away) love you all bye
