Day 396: Sandy and strange

Where the hell did the semester go? Today didn't feel like a school day at all. It felt weird, mostly. I went to class, and we watched a movie, and then I spent the rest of the day lolling around on the couch and doing little that was productive save for some Latin. Rest of the time was spent on the internet and, what do you know, here I am again! Le sigh. School is almost over. It feels like it's over now, but I know it's not. I have so much to get done before then. I'm pretty terrified. I will go home, relax for a few days and then dive right into a new job.
I had to go to the reception dinner thing tonight, which didn't turn out to be as bad as I thought it would be. Some surprisingly good writers. Good snacks. The number of people who were surprised that I'm not coming back next semester was astounding, to say the least. I was all excited about graduating at the beginning of the semester (due to massive misconceptions about life, clearly) and I was sure that I babbled about it to everybody. I am sad for it, if you must know. But several tutors and even a few professors didn't know that I am, for all intents and purposes, graduating this semester.
And I did the unthinkable.
I have been digging my heels in for forever, but enough nagging did it.
I joined Myspace. I generally despise the concept that people need to validate themselves through a bunch of numbers on a screen, but what the hell. I'm on. Those who know I'm on know, and that's the end of that. I'm not looking to make a million friends. For all my escapist and imaginary tendencies, I much prefer having tangible friends. I sort of feel like I sold my soul.
Oh well. Hopefully some good will come of it. And by some good I mean improving my writing, not finding a boyfriend or some other such silliness.
