Lining Up

I love the muted light in this photograph.  It adds to the feeling I get when I see the lone goose waddling into the frame to join the feathered line up.  Though these geese are so beautiful in the snow, this image evokes in me a sense of cold and avoidable punishment.  Why don't they just fly south?  I feel cold and insignificant when I think of my place here at DU.  I am just another number, another grade, another nobody to come in and out of this University.  I'm taking classes no one ever asked me if I wanted to take.  More importantly, no one asked if I need them for fulfilling my life goals.  They are wasting my time.  I am so disappointed in myself for cowardly lining up along all of my peers to endure these less than desirable conditions.
