Fresh Slate

I work for a pharmaceutical company as part of my education at kettering university. We fill out lab notebooks, 75 sheets of paper, yellow and gridded for our data from the labs. I have had the same notebook since I started at this company, and today, I filled the last of my pages and was assigned a fresh new notebook. For some reason, this seems like a landmark to me. I have fresh pages and a new start. I can change my handwriting, the way I lay out my data, write in all caps, or do whatever I want. I have a chance to be new with a new notebook. It is unattached to any other thing I have done here. It has no project continued from my old notebook. It's an amazing feeling.
