I came to North Texas seeking the keys to unlock the pattern of my own life and the puzzle that is me. I found new experiences, new faces, new adjustments, new in- terests as I tried to make the pieces fit. I sought truth, direction. But en- countered frustration, disappoint- ments.

u Itnwu v, puns V a awwwa-qit wt '- I,Ve always pictured college life as a frantic race e a constant rush. Seems like everyone is always going someplace.

Seemingly endless days often drifted into abbreviated nights as I sought to unlock the realms of Whatever ttknowledge might be.
