I maintain that it is SPRING!
This morning as I was leaving the apartment, I casually asked Kate what the weather was like. She casually remarked, “Oh, I think about 23 degrees with the wind chill!” I decided I was having no part of this cold weather (and perhaps she underestimated the temperature), so I put on a jacket. It’s April and I refuse, refuse I tell you, to drag that coat out of the closet again. I strolled outside. Yes, it was cold, but meh. It didn’t feel so bad. Kinda windy. I get in the car and as I start it up, a light turns on that never makes me happy. No, not the engine light. The red snowflake light; that beastly little light that likes to remind me that it’s below freezing outside. Still, my optimistic “Spring” attitude was not dissuaded. Not by the cold, not by the clouds. I was wearing my jacket and perfectly fine. However, as I was pulling out of the parking lot, I swear I saw a snowflake or two swirling by. But we’ll pretend I didn’t. I mean, nothing seemed to stick to the ground, so you have no proof!
Yesterday (at 2:00 a.m.) I turned my creative component in to my committee members. Now I just have to prepare for my defense on April 10. It’s kind of amazing that I’m this close to being done with the project. I still have another class to worry about, but I’m not really worried. Unfortunately, I’m actually more…I wouldn’t say relaxed. I have Spring Fever. Senioritis. Something like that. Now that I’ve gotten the most intimidating work out of the way, my defense doesn’t sound too bad. I could work myself up about it, but at this point there is very little I can do to change its outcome. My project is essentially finished. I just need to maintain focus for one more month. One month exactly. I graduate on May 4th. By then all my coursework and grading will be complete. I’ll be packed. I’ll be ready to face reality. Well, maybe not, but I’ll be facing it eventually. Time to take the pause button off. Maybe I need to practice for this. Prepare. Maybe this isn’t something I should dread. I do thrive on anticipation. Practicality is thrown out the window! Yeah, I know, it doesn’t make any sense to me either.
I sent you a facebook invite to an event I'm calling "A night with the Wamp!" It combines a list of every night I have available till graduation, and a list of everyone I want to spent an evening with. All you need to do is RSVP and leave a message on the event wall with what night you want. How simple is that?!
Please RSVP soon! See you tomorrow!
