Winding down
Done with classes. About to enter that weird time warp: reading period, finals, packing, WOOLF & JA training, then summer! I'm actually dreading packing the most out of all of that, for the record.
I'm in that stage where I have small moments of clarity, and I realize that the experience of this year is almost over. Much of the time, though, I don't have that perspective, and I sit in my common room like it's any other slightly boring start to a weekend. For the past few weeks I've been somewhat proudly telling people that the end of this year will be harder for my frosh than it will be for me, since I've lived outside an entry before, I have my "real life" to look forward to, etc etc. But at the same time, this end is so much more final for me than for them. I'm ready for that end in many levels, but being me I can't help the nostalgia.
