i have an hour. this is more or less the only free hour i’ve had in two weeks, since this bloody finals craziness began. but it’s over. i handed in my curriculum project (“a rose is a rose is a rose by any other name would smell as sweet: a multi-cultural survey poetry class”) at 12:10, only 10 minutes late. i may have written the thing in record time, seven hours between last nite and this morning. still, a showing of harold and maude? who was i kidding?
i packed like a fiend after lunch — it’s easy when everything’s dirty — and even did the Good Girlfriend thing (“i seem to have forgotten my clothes. can you pick them up for me?”) the least i can do i guess for someone who takes such profound-looking pictures of me.
so, somehow, miraculously, i have an hour. i’ve said most of my goodbyes. with not enough time to watch anything, i play freecell disinterestedly and browse webpages and mourn the end of this semester.

me: “no, you doof. it’s just the end.”
