having survived the horrors of finals, packing, and epic sleep deprivation, i'm finally home! mostly, though, it hasn't been glamorous enough to justify any exclamation marks. it's currently a rainy 40 degrees, and i've spent most of the past three days listening obsessively to bob dylan and trying to think of good reasons to get out of bed.
it's not that i'm not excited for campfires and trips to burlington and, best of all, not having to write any papers, but transitioning between my two very disparate worlds of home and college is just kind of weird. plus, i'm not entirely ready to be done with freshman year. not only has it been, overall, an absolutely fantastic year, but i also don't want to be two semesters closer to the real world and all that that entails. in all honesty, i'd really like to spend the indefinite future playing cards and hanging out on wig 2.
despite all of my bitching, i plan to be a great deal happier once i get a job. having inadequate structure in my life tends to be a disaster for me and right now i feel utterly without purpose. of course, actually acquiring said job is likely to be a difficult undertaking indeed, but i plan to start begging for applications tomorrow. i also need to get another gym membership and make my peace with the library so that i can productively spend my extra time exercising and reading intellectual books. if i can do all of these things and somehow manage to unpack (opening my bags and throwing everything all over my floor doesn't count) i will be in excellent shape.
