Anxiety

I dropped out of McGill too, in my second last semester before graduation. I had received many extra credits thanks to challenge exams and AP scores, and so was on track to finish a degree only two years after starting music school. Yet in the spur of the moment, intending only to drop one course, I instead let everything go, and went to bed. The lonely months before I was recalled to Waterloo by my parents were an important passage into my new life, in which I would never again be driven by academic achievement the way I always was. It was my rebirth, and with it came the first conception of The Wind at Dawn, the story which to this day shines as my guiding light.
