graduation! :-O
can you believe it? 2 more days of class and 11 days until i graduate... scratch that 10. Holy Cow! How did i get here? in high school i thought this day would never come... I never thought Id be so sad to see it come. By senior year of college i thought Id be itching to leave... But i find myself 10 days away with no real vision of my future and Im finding myself trying to make as many memories as i can. Ever see the Parent Trap? the part where she's hugging her grandfather and smelling his coat and saying "Im making a memory- for when I look back on this day and remember my grandfather and how he smelled of peppermint and pipe tobacco" Ok well Im not smoking pipes so its not quite the same, but some things you just cant take pictures of. I have this new love (or sudden addiction) to laying out on the Quad. Its something how everyone just comes to this central spot and kicks back and relaxes. Sure some people bring homework..but really how much of that really gets done ;-) Ive been reading "blue like Jazz" which i think is an amazing book on the authors insight? into Christianity. Its very honest. He doesnt say how he's a perfect Christian and you have to follow these rules to be a Christian...but tells it like it is. Lots of stories about his life. the book says its "nonreligious thoughs on Christian Spirituality" which i dont quite get that since he is a Christian...but there you go. So back to the Quad... its just very relaxing reading a book like that making memories. Sometimes i wish you could take pictures of these kind of things, i mean i guess you could take a picture of the Quad and everyone on it... but pictures dont have emotions, you cant feel the sunshine on your arms, or the wind turning the pages of my book. Or remember just how good it feels to put off homework for some serious relaxation... thats what Im gonna miss-getting out of class and just decided to enjoy the day and feel the grass between my toes.
Well As much as i'd love to write more my computer isnt multitasking well and i need some serious sleep
