Started

Sometimes, when you have the courage to do so, you just gotta take out your old bike and start riding. Perhaps take a new path to your middle-school, or perhaps take the road you've always been taking, but go further. Go down hill without holding the handle, throwing your body away at the risk of a pebble on the road, split the wind with your calm, cool, and collected posture.

If you don't have a bicyle, buy one; you can never go wrong with a nice affordable city-bike, whether you get it at the garage store from the old man down the street or from the cycle store where you always feel that it's over-priced, and it probably is, but it will be your baby to cherish for the next 30 years [for those of us who don't have a car or a motorbike]. The thing is, bicycles are not only more environmentally friendly, but have a longer life-span than cars. Due to the barbarian Canadian weather, automobiles struggle to last more than 10 years, but bycyles, well... you only ride it until fall :) haha.

Cars are great! It can take you 100 miles away for star gazing with your girl-friend, take a drive to a completely foreign places in minutes, become your haven as you travel from East-coast to West-coast, and most importantly, make you the boss if your friends ever need a ride :) [thx david/guang nan] But cars can be, to a certain degree, mundane. When you are focused on the road, there isn't much else you can enjoy. It's like a home with a mission: you can't get too comfortable, but you look like a loser if you get so cought up with the goal.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is that now that school is over(unless you are in Waterloo and there's no such thing as a break), take a deep breath. We may not have so much the time to travel around the world, but we will have the opportunity to look around us and watch the sunset by the park. Something, well frankly, I've missed in Korea. I hope to all of you that you had a wonderful semester filled with those experiences you will never forget and those that you are dying to hope to get out of your head.

School was hard, and no one doubts that. But now that it is over, at least for a little while, let's feel old again, reminiscing the puerile speeches of our childhood. Take a stroll on your bike and let the wind guide you. All you have to do is get started.
