Oh, that was so real....

last book i've read: Porn Studies, editor Linda Williams
music currently caressing my ears: anything and everything Jeff Buckley
general mood: chipper
quote i just thought of: "Ere such a soul regains its peaceful state, how often must it love, how often hate! How often hope, despair, resent, regret, conceal, disdain, do all things but forget." --Alexander Pope

So Real
(Jeff Buckley / Michael Tighe)
Love, let me sleep tonight on your couch
And remember the smell of the fabric
Of your simple city dress
Oh... that was so real

We walked around 'til the moon got full like a plate
The wind blew an invocation and I fell asleep at the gate
And I never stepped on the cracks 'cause I thought I'd hurt my mother
And I couldn't awake from the nightmare that sucked me in and pulled me under
Pulled me under
Oh... that was so real
I love you, but I'm afraid to love you

My finals week has been the best so far in my Lawrence career. Total # of times spent having dinner with friends this week: four. Total # of hours spend studying: zero. Total # of finals: 1/2, if you consider an optional 2-3 book review essay a final! (I don't)

In an effort to stay on campus without having to deal with housing, Wayland and I are now commencement ushers. Yup, making sure all the folks find their seats, answering any questions, and pretending to pay attention to the 3 hour ceremony. All for the joys of remaining in Hiett with my significant other. Oh, and perhaps also to see friends graduate.... how can I forget Tariq and Megan, yay. It's weird to see another year go by, rather quickly at that, and to be able to say "I'm a senior." Ew. Old, that's all one gets, isn't it. Well, may as well be hot in the process (joking, joking). :)

Summer plans? Well, in theory, they go as follows: Cornerstone - June 28-July 4, family trip to Mexico - July 12-21, California - August 16-September 14, and there's probably a trip to Milwaukee and Appleton in there too. Who knows what else will happen this summer? It seems I have so much to do and very little summer to do it in! I look forward to it, all of it. If only one's life could be spent enjoying the earth through travelling and not having to worry about silly things like money. I don't have a lot, but I seem to spend my fair share anyway.

Time for a donut and a shower, then work. Making money money money.... Lawrence, I fare thee well. For the summer, anyway. Here's to summer!
