Wow, it's over? Just kidding, it felt incredibly long. Good long though. The kind of long that you look back on and say "wow, that was a long time, I'm gonna make some celebration fruit salad". Not the kind of long that you look back on a say "ugh, that was such a long time. I need a donut."
Overall, this experience has been priceless. I now know that I don't like typing, I love photography, and I need to have face to face contact in order to avoid going crazy. I know what I do and don't want in a career, and I am grateful beyond words for this experience and the opportunities that AOIT has provided me with. I am prepared for the atrocities of reality. More or less. I still want to swim for 25 miles in the ocean and drive forever going nowhere and maybe even do yoga in the valley under the setting sun. Still, I am more prepared for reality than I once was. I still believe that I can make my reality beautiful (society hasn't quite gotten to me yet), but I believe that I have a much greater understanding of what I love, what I don't, and what I could never spend 9 hours daily doing. This is vital for my future and my career. Additionally, I realized that I am plagued with passion. I am passionate about so many things, and I need to learn to determine what is especially important to me, and what is not quite as important.
As a whole, I feel enlightened with reality and inspired by the future. I feel more certain (although still barely certain at all) of who I am and what I may want to do with my life.
