Tranquility Lost:
This blog was first published November 20th 2003 on the Seton
Hill Moveable Type server.
The title "Tranquility Lost" originated from my rather harsh transition
from high school to college life. I essentially found myself in a dorm
hall filled with loud and obnoxious strangers (many of whom became
dear friends). Now, the title refers to the played-out lessons of growing
up. Each time we settle in to an arrangement, be it high school, college,
or careers, tranquility comes from our routines. My routines are constantly
ground up, spit out, and left behind. I don't favor change much, and
thus my tranquility is often lost.
