almost all of today had a Last feeling to it. Last final. returning books. graduation ceremonies (speeches and fake diplomas followed by cheap champagne). picnic in bakken — bread, strawberries, cheese and chocolate. rides, including a hands-on haunted house where we were groped in the dark and screamed for real. lots of pictures. sentiment. maybe the Last time i’ll see these people. anne and krissy, for example, leave tomorrow on their two-week tour o’ europe. stories told, laughs relaughed, a bottle of wine shared between anne and me and i’m buzzed and content.
technically i still have all of tomorrow, even if i will spend it packing. my plane doesn’t take off til 10 a.m. saturday.
