The Last Day and the First
Yesterday was my last day of college. I had my final jury (sucked, but it doesn't matter) went to work for the arduous TWO lessons I had to teach, went out to dinner with my Dad (always pleasant) and then desperately sought some appropriate graduation celebration.
Having already failed to gain more than one person's interest in my master scheme for celebration, the complete posse descending upon Karaoke Kid, I was looking for a backup, to have SOMEthing going on while I rescheduled the huge singing endeavor. After shuffling between botched plans and resisting my natural instinct to "not feel like it" when I have plans available to me, I went out to meet long-time friend Sarah (we've known eachother since age 7, but have seen eachother maybe 3 times in the 5 years she's been in Madison) at Paul's Club. Which is a bar. With a tree in it.
Now I must have had a pretty good time because for SOME reason I remember meeting the greek goddess of war. But I guess that's another story... No. Not really, it's the same story. I just don't feel like writing that much.
All in all, it was a surprisingly appropriate transition. There were many elements which gave a significant 'adieu' to the School of Music, and there were many inspirational discussions pertaining to how life after college is going to be better than college because without school in the way one can make the changes they've been meaning to for a while. Like going out when some little voice in their head says "I don't feel like it." But then when plans fall through it says "Oh man, I wanna go out so baaad!" But then when plans are ressurected, "Hmm, I dunno. It's cold." So I clubbed him over the head with a brick soaked in chloroform, locked him in the dank slightly hidden room in the basement, and went out anyway. And thus developed my new years resolutions which will follow at a later time. Success!
PS. A Note on Redundancy
As I have not made any grand transition to my new/old stand-alone blog from my LJ, etc, and there are still a lot of people ON Lj who would probably read this, AND as copy/paste isn't that hard for someone once trying to go into comp-sci (HA, math sucks), I'm going to temporarily dual-post to both this and my LJ. Until such time as I can gain enough interest to get everyone to make the effort to read the blog on my site. That is all.
