something about this just makes me feel old.
see here. i get excited about may day, 'kay?
it was an interesting end of april weather-wise. i came back to central after my archery final and the rain had let up but thunder came by shortly thereafter, shaking the buildings. lisa was apparently terrified, but i missed it. by the time i left again for the rest of the day the rain had stopped and in the sunlight i could see the first of the blooming on the trees around north. sun showers later as i walked back to central laden with espresso for finals week; the looks of disbelief on the faces of everyone moving in the other direction were priceless.
this week is a pretty good example of rushed creativity: i'm burned out enough from academic papers i've been writing but i'm expected to make a serious revision to the story i wrote for creative writing back before spring break by the end of today. i'm going to put a footnote at the end of the first paragraph that starts a background story that will run at the bottom of every page if i can figure out a good way to format it.
lizzie and i are getting apartment stuff together and it looks better and better, i should be getting a call about a job later today unless the school decides to completely screw me again, and i should be relatively de-stressed by wednesday at 2:30. classes will be over and it'll just be a matter of tests (which i don't get too worried about) and moving-in logistics before later spring and soon summer and a new life of sorts.

about
-
me: aspiring writer, 'music nerd,' seeker of beautiful moments, college student, armchair theologian, nominal quaker, 'the diet coke of emo with no caffeine,' eclectic left-winger, and generally someone who thinks about things too much.
this: unedited, uninhibited, and uninteresting thoughts, nebulous stream-of-consciousness ramblings of memory, inside jokes, obscure references, emotional paroxysms, and slices of life. sometimes there are pictures.
