this afternoon — monday, that is — i took my last final of the spring semester. i came home a little after four and i ate the late fast-food lunch i had picked up and i was glad. glad that again, i have made a little step along the road. accomplished another little sliver of personal development or at least completion on paper of the path to a goal. good for me.

so this evening i was sitting on the couch with two of my roommates, and turned to one and said, “this is a great feeling — tomorrow, i have nothing. no work, no class. not even something looming, as in like ‘i should study for this test coming up’ or ‘i should read for that class’, because it’s over. there’s nothing. and that’s great.”

and do you know what he said to me? he said, “yeah, but we still have to pack and move later this week, don’t we?”

that bastard.

other news: waking life comes out on dvd today — tuesday, that is — but i can’t afford to buy it until i start getting paychecks in a week or two. anyone feeling generous? and tomorrow — wednesday, that is — i’m going to see the promise ring and the weakerthans. neat. first summer concert. i’ll let you know about that one.

[now hearing this: the smiths – very best of . . . yeah, so i have a greatest hits collection instead of all the actual albums, so what. it’s cheaper this way and i’m not sure if i like them enough to buy all the separate discs anyway. what are you going to do about it?]
