So The End feels like this
May 3, 2008
I had my last paper 3 days ago. And the gravity of finally getting over the finishing line hasn’t quite sink in. But the feeling thus far, oh so sweet.
The feeling of waking up in the morning and having nothing to think about. No assignments, no deadlines, no unfinished term papers. Sweet. The feeling of the sun on your face without the burning sensation, that’s what it’s like.
To be able to hop across town, and have couple of drinks with your buddies, without the nagging feeling of having midterms the next day. To be able to read, to skip around, to enjoy nothingness, without the worry of looming deadlines and impossible projects to complete.
The End didn’t quite capture it I feel. More like an end of a chapter rather. Because I know for sure, when I get a job oh, it’s gonna be the same. But that doesn’t mean I cannot celebrate the little victories in life.
It is not true that life is one damn thing after another, it’s one damn thing over and over ~ Edna Saint Vincent Millay
But the unfortunate, yet truly exciting thing about your life, is that there is no core curriculum. The entire place is an elective. The paths are infinite and the results uncertain ~ Jon Stewart

Congrats! Enjoy the life of leisure while you can… once you enter the rat race of employment, you won’t find the prospect of true leisure again until you retire! And, generally speaking, there are quite a few years in between!
Great quotes, too! :-D
Yes I’m enjoying every single second of it =)

Give you one more quote to think about, this one from a retired Air Force colonel that I used to work for… he was full of many things, wise words being only one of them!
“It is often difficult to distinguish between the unfortunate and the incompetent. Furthermore, there is seldom a need to do so.” – Hiram Turner
Have a great weekend! :-D
I believe I’m too young to fully grasp the idea behind it. But I will keep that in mind. More often than not, quotes like these visit you unexpectedly when you needed it most.

Like an utter psychopath, I have leafed through every entry to try and decide where on this planet you are situated. Either I am extremely unperceptive or you’ve given no real indication. Either way, I know nothing about you.
This shouldn’t bother me, but it does.
I guess it’s impolite to ask WHERE you are.
Or your name or age or anything at all, for that matter. But I would like to know.
Personal interest, I guess?
I’m floundering. Oh well.
I’m honestly terrible at approaching people. Apparently, even through text.
And I don’t know how to close this comment.
Goddamnit.
