Another one bites the dust...

In a half hour I hand in my final SWK paper of my undergrad career. Then, only Graphic Design and Stats, plus the defense of my senior thesis, remain. So... close...

ps. I lied

On second thought...

Oh, but excitement is close. My final draft of my senior keystone paper goes in tonight, leaving just a defense of it to the department, a math final, a couple projects/a presentation/a quiz/a final in my graphic design class (talk about weighting the end of the semester!), a social work paper/presentation and final, a piano performance test, and maybe some papers or graduation paperwork. I'm getting so close I can taste it!

More than bent on getting by...

Yep. Stole that line from a song I liked in middle school. Having a little trip down memory lane.

It was a good weekend and a good day so far today. Had my honors defense, and it went well. I feel great. I'm not bullshitting just to get by, I'm really living, as I want to, as I am. Feels good to be real. Nothing exciting, just even.

Fraternizing with Franken

Tonight I went to a private Al Franken get-together to raise funds and energize his campaign. I talked with him, got an autograph and a photo--it was fun, he was articulate and interested... What can I say? Politically we're essentially a match, and he's got passion to burn. He's got my vote: here's hoping the former SNL writer goes all the way next year, eh?

This weekend

My dad has a U-Haul for this weekend and this weekend only, so my friend and I are moving our big stuff up north on Friday. I have not yet packed a thing, so guess what I'll be doing tomorrow night! Ha.

That is, after I get some well-deserved Chipotle (I came into a gift card. Dare I say karma? Mm, perhaps not. But burrito nonetheless!).

Time to make time

So in the last four days I haven't much slept, and have spent every free moment doing HW. I'll accept that some of that is self-inflicted--perfectionism takes its toll--yet most of it is the forces of the universe coming together in agreement that I be the busiest I've ever been right now. Don't think I did too well on this morning's test, two of my classes aren't going as well as I'd like, and I spend every waking moment in the library. I haven't had any down time (whatever happened to the senior slump, slack or slide?!), so I'm going to make time for it tonight by getting take-out Thai and catching up with an old friend. I can't wait!

Sure, I've got several presentations tomorrow that need to be prepared for, an entire life to pack up (see next entry), and ongoing projects, but I need to relax a bit. I've run myself into the ground and am feeling the strain-- I haven't been feeling so hot (health-wise; worry not, the looks department is still as stunning as ever - note the ambiguity in that phrasing) because I've been running myself into the ground, so I need this break. Tomorrow will come, and I'll get done what I need to. Anyway- I'm at work, so I should get back to it.

Countdown

I graduate in less than a month... What am I going to DO with my life? Who knows, who cares. One day at a time, eh?
