I honestly thought this day would never come at times. I never knew how gratifying it would feel to be able to freely engage in basica ctivities such as talking, addressing someone by their first name, and sitting down in a restaurant. But such is the feeling of freedom I will finally enjoy in August when I return as a Yuk will be amazing to me. It seemed so surreal being able to walk around without fear of being hazed by a grumpy Cow. Next year will definitely be a lot more fun, almost like being a human being!
