there are parts of graduating that are really weird. mostly the part where you don't actually feel like you're graduating, and thus don't feel like your goodbyes are actually real. even worse, there's some people that you don't get the chance to see one last time, and it doesn't really sink in that you aren't going to see them ever again. i'll go through the grad ball, and grad ceremony with the expectation that i'll be here again next year, and it won't really sink in until September comes around and i realize that i won't be back.
so the walls are getting barer, and one of my roommates has already moved out, but it's like my brain is in denial. the fact that i haven't started looking for jobs doesn't help much. right now my concerns are getting through War and Peace and having my sprained foot heal so i can go do some Bikram yoga. oh, and ignoring the giant pile of laundry currently sitting on my floor. and having lunch with people to say goodbye and then flippantly insisting that i'll see them again sometime.
