So it's basically official: I completed my last final exam as an undergraduate last night at 7pm...and if I wasn't completely exhausted, I'm sure I'd be ecstatic. :)

So I've managed to fit in hanging out with three different friends this week thus far...planning on seeing three more before I leave on Saturday. It's harder than I thought, hanging out with everyone for the last time...especially Jas. Sometimes it just stinks saying goodbye, knowing you'll never meet someone quite as, well fill in the blank, as that person. I'm realizing this week that I will miss my friends here for how awesome they are, but also how much more awesome I am around them; my friends really have made me a better person.

Enough with all this seriousness...so I was walking back from class last night and took the path next to the volleyball court. And I am SO glad I did. A bunch of EMU student employees were playing, and alternating singing annoying songs to each other in order to mess with their concentration. As I was walking by one team was singing Christmas carols, and the other was alternating between N Sync and the Spice Girls. Totally hilarious. :D

T minus two days til my departure. Is the world outside of my school ready for me? Probably not. At this point, do I care? Not a bit. :D

what is sleep? and other questions I ask myself daily...

Holy Serengeti, has it been a long time. I didn't realize just how long until I realized I needed to update my profile info, as much of it has changed. Apparently a lot can happen in about a year. :)

Two weeks until I am officially a graduate of Eastern Michigan University. I started doodling in class the other day (which for drawing neanderthals like me, consists of random words and sentences) and ended up starting a running list of things I will miss about EMU. Some highlights:

I Will Miss:
-the walk to the campus library
-lunch on Mondays with James
-hanging out at the Student Center with Lindsey on Wednesday afternoons
-watching different student groups play volleyball and basketball with Jaz, and providing our own awesome commentary
-staking out my chair on the first day of class
-the laughter at the VISION office
-free movies on Friday nights
-Sidetrack Bar & Grill
-making fun of MSU
-living in an area with ten pizza joints within five miles
-living in close proximity to friends who not only understand your life, sympathize with your stresses and acknowledge the insanity of college debts, but will still listen while you complain for the upteenth time about how poor you are and how some days it seems like the only thing that keeps you going is Starbursts and absolute hysteria.

This growing nostalgia I'm feeling is definitely connected at least partly to the fact that this place - even my dorm - has in some ways been the one constant in my otherwise completely insane life over the past three years.
