It's getting to be crunch time. Time for me to start seriously thinking about being done with school. Time for me to look for a job. Time for me to think about what my life has in store for me. Time for me to think about leaving my friends and taking off in whatever direction life takes me.

Time for me to stop shitting my pants because finishing college isn't going to kill me, after all.

Umm...it isn't, is it?

It is now week ten of the fifteen week semester. This is the very first semester of my college career that I have been able to keep track of which week of the semester it is. I usually get sixes and sevens muddled with eights and in the end I'm stupid and, in addition to being stupid, I have no idea what week it is. It makes me sad that I finally can keep tabs on the week and it'll be the very last time I do it. Of course, there may be a slight correlation between the finishing in five weeks and the constant reminding of myself that being done is only five weeks away.

In the end, I'll be a college graduate. It's not all that exciting, really. Lots of people do it. It doesn't even feel like that much of an accomplishment. Just another stepping stone in this great journey. However, I did find out last week that I'll be graduating summe cumme laude (God willing I won't fuck that up by next month), which made me rather happy. (I suppose God's not going to be willing to do much for if I continue using His name in the same sentences as profanities. Sorry, God, You're super cool!)

To deviate from that subject, I spent the weekend with Darren. And man alive do I love that kid. I didn't know anyone could tolerate me as much as he does. I think I'll do what I can to keep him around. Yeah, that's what I'll do...

We watched a total of six movies on Friday and Saturday. Sounds boring, I know, but it's the most fun I've had in a while. It was a nice, relaxing weekend and I look forward to spending another one just like it with him soon. I'm actually kind of excited to finish school and - probably - move to the Cities where, I hope, somebody will be willing to employ me. Then I'll be living in the same AREA as Darren and I'll be able to see him all the time. Plus my sister is down there, so if one of them pisses me off I can go to the other. You just can't beat that, can you?
