fortunes

The fortunes I find inside fortune cookies seem to always be somewhat .. forceful. They're never the generic ones that could apply to anyone; instead they seem to apply directly to my situation.

This one is a good example. I got it at Mandalay restaurant, just a few blocks from my house. More important than the location was the timing - I got it the day after my last set of final exams ended this December. After a seemingly endless wait to finish school, and with the utter unknown laid out in front of me, this is what I got out of the cookie.
