I will graduate college in about 14 hours. I can't even handle it right now. I have this weird feeling that the world is going to end when I go to bed tomorrow night (well, technically today, but I don't mean when I go to bed an hour from now). I can't imagine waking up Monday morning. It's like my brain can't even picture how that could occur.
I don't even know why I'm posting this except that I really want to write and all of my notebooks and journals are packed away. I don't understand how everything happened so fast.

Look who's still alive!
Let's ignore the fact that it's been four months since I last posted here. I've been slightly busy. If you're interested in reading a blog that is updated much more frequently than mine (and is also much funnier), you should check out my sister's blog about her experiences as a senior in high school.
First of all, I have to point out that it's been pretty darn good to be a nerd this week! Monday was Wizarding Independence Day, Wednesday was Intergalactic Star Wars Day, and today is Hanko de Mayo, and Helen Hunt finally saw the Helen Hunt Song!! Power of the Internet FTW.
Okay, so all of those links were really an attempt to procrastinate talking about the really big thing that's happening later this week: GRADUATION. My feelings about this are so mixed that it's really hard to talk about it. As much as I didn't want to graduate high school, that felt like a beginning of something new as much as it felt an ending. This right now just feels like an ending. I had my last meal in Lang cafeteria with my friends today. I left the Foreign Language building and the Theatre building for probably the last time. And I keep looking around my room and knowing that when I get home, I can't just stick all of this stuff in the attic till I get it out again in August. I'm going to have to actually sort through it all and put it all away, a thought that kind of makes me want to defenestrate myself right now. (10 points to me for working my favorite English word into that last sentence!)
One thing I'm glad about is that I really managed to have a fantastic last semester at B-W, despite the gargantuan amount of work I had to do. (I am apparently on a roll with the big words today.) I started watching Doctor Who in January, and I'm now almost to the start of season five, and I am completely addicted! In February, my friends Annika and Jess and I made a semi-spontaneous (come on, we're all Ravenclaws) trip down to Cincinnati in the middle of the week to see a wizard rock show, and we made it back for Annika's and my 8 A.M. classes the next morning. The dance concert, New Beginnings, was in March, and it was a really fantastic show. I was very pleased with how my piece turned out, and I had a wonderful time working with my dancers. April brought Diva Night and the annual Theatre Department banquet, and the decision that I want to pursue Spanish translation in grad school.
But I just don't want it all to be over.
