Ahhh…. lets discuss freedom…. freedom, success, and opportunity. First the freedom part…
Today I realized that I don’t have classes on Wednesdays anymore… why? Because I worked my butt off and got my grade high enough that I can skip all further classes, the last homework, the final exam, and the last quiz in my Astronomy class… and still get an A…. not too shabby…. THAT… is freedom.
Success comes in the form of knowing that my photography final portfolio that I turned in on Tuesday (the very same photos you critiqed for me earlier) went over well with my prof. In fact, he told me three times before I left class that I did a good job… nice work… etc… He rarely says that stuff…. I felt all special… but mostly happy to know that my grade should be pretty good! AND I got back my last assignment from him today and I got a 29/30 on it… tied for the highest score of the semester… He never gives 30/30’s…. we were discussing this and he said it’s cuz then “that means you couldn’t possibly improve…. and there’s always room for improvement….” ….. so…. BASICALLY…. that means we’re all docked 8 or 9 points per semester (depending on the number of assignments)…. pretty ghetto…. BUT, what can ya do?
So finally opportunity… I’ve been looking for this stupid stylus thing for my palm pilot case for over two months… they apparently are out of stock at Palm and thus NO ONE has them online… See, I have to have this exact one cuz it fits in my hard case thing… and it actually seals the case shut…. without it dust and dirt just floods the case… and the whole protective element of the case is zilched. SO, on a whim I checked Ebay the other day and FINALLY found a 2-pack of these buggers… The ONLY 2-pack in existance on the net…. I must’ve searched thirty freakin sites and store search engine sites to no avail… and then BOOM… one day this guy Brian in Florida says, “Heh… I don’t need these… I’m gonna sell them…” So I bid. I bid like a bad bad donkey, okay? And on the final day… this little annoying pipsqueak guy keeps outbidding me by fifty cents…. so I waited… and then… OPPORTUNITY! With 90 seconds left in the 7 day auction, I out-bid him and watched the clock tick to zero…. So now I’m FINALLY getting that stinkin case fixed….
AND, I got my desk cleaned for the first time in about 2 months… and my LAST FINAL PROJECT is underway…. I’m workin on it…. I have 9 days…. On Friday I expect a phone call from a random number and to hear some chick say, “7 days…..” Then the following Friday some chick’s gonna crawl outta my TV and kill me if it’s not done…. so…. I spose I should finish…. …. …. cuz…. I like …. to live… and all…. ::looks around nervously::
I …. uhh…. gotta go….. I think I just….. …. wet myself….

Ha. I posted on that very subject yesterday. Weird.
Hmm. Interesting post. I can relate to several of those feelings. It’s nice to know that it will be a while before I have to write another paper…
It’s also a bit depressing, as I will not see a number of my friends for quite some time. Many of them will be going home for the summer without a real chance for me to see them. Hopefully, I’ll be busy enough for it to be a moot point.
