(no subject)
so... my laptop broke last week, the day before an essay deadline
it's been a great week - lots of human contact, birthday party (thankyouthankyouthankyou), reading - i think i might leave my laptop broken a little longer
(i'm in a computer cluster now, in case you were curious)
i might even spend the summer without it, and see how i do
just so i can enter the real world for a bit... for the first time since i was about three, actually
i've turned 20, and it wasn't scary - it was just one huge relief
no burden of being a teenager - that was a decade away, not two days ago!
and i can look forward to shaping this decade as much as possible
into being one where i'm happy and make other happy!
and... it seems like i might be "the one who's doing a dissertation on joanna newsom"...
i went for a meeting with a tutor about it today, and she said it all poses no problems, as long as i explain a bit more about who she is, since i made the panel feel a bit old when they didn't know
oops
ahh music elitism and english literature, all combined into one yummy package, yessss
and... playing in a gig tonight with the amber sleep and hub
nervous and excited!
and... exam tomorrow morning and thursday afternoon
nervous and excited! (to finish them, bring on summer!)
i'm saving myself the excitement of making summer plan checklists until friday
i've already got gigs and festivals with my friends planned
but there's so much more i want to achieve over my 17 weeks (!) off
and i think, minus the laptop and with the optimism that i hope comes with being 20
i could finally do "all the things i'd always said i'd do!"
