It is foggier outside than it has ever been before. I can't even see out my window. I just walked/felt my way back from the library and it's like being in a shower with your eyes closed. And with clothes on. And really cold.
I'm leaving school tomorrow although I won't be done with it until I write a paper and email it to that professor who doesn't talk to me. Things have been so crazy, I haven't given a thought to the fact that I'll be away from here for the next 16 months.
What's nice is that almost every single one of my friends will be gone to. They're all going abroad. All over the world, for the entire year. I'm going to have multiple friends on every important continent and I'll try to visit them all, especially the ones in Galway, Ireland because Martin Sheen is going to be an undergraduate student at the same school as them.
I'm only going to seek out the 5 or 6 critical people in my life for a goodbye tomorrow. HOpefully I'll just run into everyone else I know on my way to the car.
I have an exam in six hours that I've barely studied for and my term paper on the federal mortgage interest tax deduction (so boring) is only half-way completed. We somehow lost one of our standard issue dormroom chairs during the course of the year so I have to steal one from a storage room tomorrow afternoon.
I'm getting new glasses on saturday and leaving for Italy on sunday. I'll be there for ten days with the choir. We're touring in Tuscany and Rome and singing for a Mass at the Vatican. I'm really not kidding when I say I'm probably the coolest kid in the Choir. The people there are outrageously obnoxious but I have formed a contingency of friends who are nice and normal and social, albeit a bit odd, but who isn't anymore?
I'm really only going because the college is paying for 70% of the trip.
There is no point to me sharing all of this information. The fog hasn't dissipated yet. Maybe it will when the sun comes up?
The library was giving out free coffee so I stole a cup to drink in the morning before my exam because I don't want to pay the $1.25 for a hot cup. I've accumulated so much shit but I think I'm just going to throw it all out tomorrow. Except for my Indian Costume from Holloween. I'm going to wear that to the Vatican.
"How, Benedict."
I wore sunglasses yesterday because it was really cloudy and I thought it would be kind of funny but no one else thought so. I think they're women's glasses. My roommate found them on the floor of his history classroom.
I also went to cape cod on Monday because I was bored (should have done work). I got a million of those stupid looking seashells that look like halved nuts and then gave them out individually to everyone I knew with a big smile and a hug. It was cute and now my friends like me more.
I'm going to go to bed now for a few hours and then wake up super early then realize I don't want to be up. So I'll go back to bed and then get up just pretty early and review some shit and drink that coffee that I just stole then go take a final.
Oh, the year I come back I'm living off campus in a house on the premier off-campus street with eight other guys. The street is called Caro Street and it's where the entire campus hangs out on weekends and when people ask me where I'm living I just have to give them the number of the house and they know which street I'm referring to ISN'T THAT COOL? oh my god so awesome.
"Where are you living?"
"25"
"Kewl"
My nose is running like a facuet. Like water out of a faucet. It sucks and I'm ruining the rainforests because of it. I should really go to bed.
