this is the day...

Today’s the day.

It’s the day that all deposits for incoming students are due.

It’s the day before finals.

It’s that last Thursday on campus for months.

And I can’t wait.

This semester was full of learning, work, snow, rain, sun, friends, construction, heartache and laughter. And it’s almost done. Many of my friends are going abroad next semester which changes everything.

Freshman 15. Sophomore slump. Not really. It’s up to you.

I’m sounding all philosophical but it’s because I’m burning out. I still have 2 papers and an exam left but all I was to do is sit around with my friends and laugh until we no longer can.

We’re all ready for a change for a few months. But by August, we’ll be ready to be back or be abroad.

Most of you still have at more than a month before your semesters end or you graduate. Hang in there. It’s not that much longer.

If you end up passing through town this summer, stop in at one of the new stores opening, Clean Cut Clothing on Wisconsin Ave or Bushel and Peck’s [the local produce grocery] on State St!

I hope to meet many of you, dear readers, this fall. I’ll be back in September for another semester of writing.

P.S. I never thought I’d eat Taco Bell at midnight in the basement of a bar while listening to a live death-metal band called “Sounds of Serenity”. Hm. College.
