It's finally done.
20 pages of "journal" entries about popular culture.

tomorrow, after i hand that in, i'll be doing a presentation on language, culture, and community in Quebec- from an anglophone canadian perspective. Hopefully it'll go well, and no one will faint plunging head-first into the floor like the last group presentation in that class. [she was fine- at least it was carpet]

then- one more week in which to write my last two essays.

then- two take home exams- about a week each.
then i'm done and just waiting around relaxing while ben finishes his exams. drink myself blind again at the pub staff party, and figure out if we're going to let "joe" from amherst sublet our apartment for the summer.

and.. ben and i are considering trying to jump on a last minute flight to some all-inclusive vacation down south. [just so i can waste away all my student loan money -and- be late applying for jobs in may]
i feel that my time has come. year after year i see myself turn green with envy while others get tans on beaches in cuba or the dominican republic.
if i don't do it now- it'll never happen. no one in my immediate family has ever even been 'down south' or overseas. i want to break the mould. beaches and all-inclusive booze for all!!

anyone wanna come?
