i'm not too bright...but this was a good end to the year.
in the last few days i have procrastinated in ways that have been pretty physically taxing. it played on my mind that i had one essay to write and then my entire theatre major would be complete, so on wednesday i just had the biggest senioritis kick of my life...and if you knew me in high school, you know that says A LOT. the essay was due thrusday, so on wednesday afternoon at about 2:40 i left campus and started riding and just didn't stop for as long as i could handle. before i knew it, i'd gone downtown, to the north side, downtown again, to the south side, all the way down the river to homestead, and back through hazelwood to oakland. the coolest part was that the trail that runs alongside carson street, out of nowhere it just ends, and for about a quarter mile you have to walk alongside the train tracks, and a train went by and blew its horn at me, i guess just to double check that i was facing in the same direction or to tell me to cancel my plans to jump in front of it or something. i came out of the tracks in, of all places, the sandcastle parking lot. there was no one there, so it was a nice glide through to the waterfront. you get dumped out right behind the movie house. ate at steak n shake just cuz it sounded like there'd be a lot of food there. i got back home and i was like, "oh...finals...right." i'm stupid. i stayed up all night writing a bad essay, preparing a short presentation (2 minutes) and studying for a test. so at 10:00 thursday morning, i took my last final after biking 25 miles and being awake for almost 24 hours. i don't think i should do that again.
then i slept from like 12:30 to 8 pm, got up, went to the library and read all kinds of stuff (i had a hankering for 17th century hermeticism and alchemy, that kind of day does that to you) and then went home and fell back to sleep for another 10 hours or so. then i got up today and rode another 20 miles, had a nice dinner and a round of monkey island with neko's owner. at about 10 pm i was like "piiiraaaateeee...oh...sleep? oh that...yeah" should i drive the 6 hours to NJ tomorrow? niet. i think i'll wait for my friends to graduate.
sleepy time.
