This weekend has been the best weekend of my life. I graduated from college, in what I considered to be a huge ceremony, but others might dismiss as trivial. I also received a job offer from Priceline. It’s hard to imagine that next year, I’ll be solely in the Real World, with no classes, no homework, no tests or exams, no Academic Integrity agreements, no syllabi, no GPA, and no Tuesday-night parties. It’ll be like a different planet.

Someone asked me about Ow, My Foot! today, after seeing the wonderful mug my wonderful fianceé made for me four years ago. I thought about the one-dollar bottomless coffees. I thought about the sharp December breeze and the dingy downtown funk. I remembered Dilbert and Flash Gordon inspired almost-spoken word. I remember Vanilla Steamed Moo. I smell the people, I feel the carpet, I taste the angst and the hippies and the yuppies.
“It was a band I was in,” I told him. I wiped a tear from my eye.

You’d think I’d be excited that graduation is a mere nine days away. But in all truthfulness, the stress over the job situation, the wedding, and the mystery of where M and I will end up has been preventing me from really enjoying the fact that I’m done with seventeen years of “organized education”.
Should I be excited about Episode 2? I’m still trying to decide.
