hey blog, i didn't forget about you, there's just been so much going on lately that i got caught up in the hullabaloo.
graduation countdown: 4 days. as my grades are coming in from teachers, this is becoming even more real to me. i'm still nervous. that will probably change to scared shitless in a day or so, and obviously i'll probably write about it.
to recap what's been going down
1) senior final good & welfare. i had been dreading this day for a year. it was so hard to sit in front of my closest friends and just tell them how grateful i was to have them around. i really gave it everything not to cry, and i'm thankful i didn't. i hope that it's not the last time i see all of them. but, if it is, i'm glad i got to tell them all in person that i was glad to be a part of something as good as our fraternity with them for the last 3 years.
2) last day of class, ever. i got a unique sense of calm when my last class ended. it almost felt like an old cartoon where you open a book, and the first words are written, then the cartoon fades in..then when the story is over it fades back to the book and it closes. sorry if whoever is reading this doesn't understand what i mean, it's just the TV/film nerd in me. i can remember my first day of class 4 years ago, and now i have a memory of the last one, too. it's something that is sort of a buzzkill, but i wouldn't want to forget, either.
3) senior formal. i have had dreams about that day since my first one in spring of 2007. it was a shitshow then, and really nothing has changed...except this year it was on a boat. i usually don't go on boats, i've got motion sickness so bad i can't even ride a ferris wheel. thankfully, the medicine i took worked, and i got to enjoy myself and not spend the entire time in the bathroom. the night was really killer, too. all of the people i wanted to share my last formal with were able to be there, which made it that much better. oh, i should also mention that i had a fantastic date. not only did she look incredible, but she managed to stay in her heels til ALMOST midnight! all jokes aside, though, i really had a great time with her. we talked a lot, and i didn't even realize how much time had passed by until we were docking again. i'm really glad that she enjoyed the night. she had been such a great friend to me lately that it was nice to take her out to say thank you.
4) drinking. i feel like i've drank an entire keg by myself over the last week or so. it's gotten pretty bad. i have twice woken up at 5am with a hangover (after going to bed at 2:45). however, it has reaffirmed my ability to drink like a sailor with the best of my fraternity, as well as my above average skills on the pong table. i really didn't play a lot this semester, but i have found my groove again lately. last night was especially good, as i was playing one on one with a friend and only lost 8 matches in a 2.5 hour series (i don't recall how many games we actually played, but i do know i won the series very handily).
that's kinda it. i really have just been relaxing and reflecting on the last 4 years. i don't know where the future will take me, but i do know it's gonna be a great fuckin ride. now i've just gotta embrace that fact instead of trying to turn and run away from it. i've only got 4 days left.
