Mostly about Fantasy genre: Special emphasis on Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Deed of Paksennarion. Music, poetry and random ramblings. Actually, anything is up for grabs. Probably not politics, but everything else is fair game. Please ignore al

I am now writing the final paper of my undergraduate career. At 11:00 am tomorrow, I will turn in my last paper, and I will be done with college. I will be finished. In honor of this, I feel like breaking into song...

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which I'm certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and every highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

heehee I couldn't help myself.

Happy Hump day!

Almost done. You know, I was scared before, but that's pretty much all gone now. It helps that I've got a best friend to move in with in June, and my finals are going well. I actually feel ready to be done with college.

oh, and

WOOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!!!!

Wow, you wont' know what to do with yourself and stuff...

Every time I hear this song, I can't help but think of the Sid Vicious video he did for his cover version of this song.

I remember being done. My last semester of college was very strange. I moved back home with my mom so I could student teach for three months, and then I moved back into the dorms for two months at the end of the year. In the interim, I had met and started dating Ryan and stuff. I felt very disconnected from the others in my program because I'd just been off in rural Minnesota instead of living the urban life. My best friend in my program turned into a total wretch and wouldn't even talk to me (which was/is fine, really)...

And then before I knew it, that Saturday was there, Ryan was sleeping in my room (illegally) in my dorm, my family was really loud when I walked, and we had a picnic in the park to celebrate. Then Ry helped me pack and move and we've been together ever since.

I go back to my school sometimes because I still keep in touch with the ladies in the Registrar's office I worked with, and it's a place in the Cities that all my friends know so if I want to meet someone we just still meet at the Union or something.

It's just weird being a full-fledged adult. It's strange indeed.
