Driving Away

I drove out of Madison reflecting on my years at WRC. The friends I have made, and the things I have learned.

Working there was an incredible experience, but I am forced now to spread my wings. As I am poised to fly, what do I want to do? Where do I want to go? What have I learned? What lessons are in store?

Traffic was good and I love a long drive, even despite my mere 3 hours of sleep the night before. I worked in and out of traffic, every mile taking me further away from what was and closer to what is to come.

I know that I want to become a better person. More patient and tolerant. I figure that there is no better time than the present and I will start by becoming tolerant of idiotic drivers! (See how tolerant I am already?)

I make a conscious effort to let things roll of my back that would normally bother me, or cause me to alter how I am driving. Not aggressive things necessarily, I am mostly just a horrible speeder. I believe that the speed limit is the sign +9. If someone might slow me down, I'll speed up to +11 or +12 so as to not get 'stuck' behind them.

This is my first big change, and I work my way up I90/I94 being more conscientious of others.

I transfer to I39, and continue towards Wausau. Lost in reflection and listening to the radio and working my way home.
