Free at last! I am officially done with college! Happy dance! Thank you God! No more papers. No more exams. No more all-nighters. No more stress eating away the lining of my stomach. No more evil professors who dislike me for no good reason. No more stupid people in the back of the class saying idiotic things like, “well why are we focusing so much on skin color, isn’t it what’s on the inside that matters?” when discussing the importance of race in film. I wanted to say, “Yes that’s what should matter, but we live in the REAL world, not fantasy land.” No more lugging 20 pounds of books around campus in my little suitcase on wheels. No more getting hit by cars on the way to school. It is finally OVER!
I don’t quite know what to do with myself. I have been in school for 4 ½ years. It is oddly unsettling knowing there is nothing I should be doing. For example, any other year around this time I would be done with one semester and getting ready for the next. In fact I would probably be getting ready for the summer semester right about now. But now I don’t have to worry anymore. It’s weird.
But I have been doing some productive things. I sold back every textbook I own, all 30 of them. I got $140 for them, score! But I don’t have to lug them around anymore or trip over them in my room so it was totally worth it. I also took back all the library books I had checked out, all 59 of them. And those were just the books I used for this semester. If you totaled up all the library books I checked out for school projects I bet the numbers would be in the thousands. I also went shopping so now I have food to eat. Eating just was not a priority when I was writing 3 research papers in a week and studying for finals that were the next week. I also went through every piece of clothing I own and I’m getting rid of 2 full trash bags of clothes. So I am not just sitting around doing nothing. Well actually right now I am, but that is only because I am so sore from lugging the aforementioned books down a flight of stairs and back to the library/bookstore. It may not have been the smartest idea to do this all in the same day. Because I have to tell you, nothing weighs more than hardback, boring books about communism and Russia. But I am planning on soaking in a bath later to loosen up my muscles. That’s right I have time to take baths now! Happy dance again!
Anyway I should go and take that bath because I’m actually in quite a bit of pain. So, I’ll talk to you later. Oh, and by the way I am starting a new blog called “Say it With Cheese.” On this blog I plan on posting recipes (not just cheese recipes) because I actually have time to cook now. Next week I plan on making enchiladas. Stay tuned.
Now 'Communism and Russia' that will weigh you down! That was funny! Now that you have all this extra time on your hands maybe we can find you a '.Yentil. I think thats how you spell it. Every time I try doing a spell check on that word,it comes up with Lentil. Oh well, Congratulations. Come visit.
