the last few days of freedom before papers, late nights, stress and presentations begin; all things i am not too keen on. and what am i doing? counting down the days because i am going stir crazy! yesterday i walked around campus and saw all the bright-faced first years cheering to some stupid chant during o-week and i longed to be back on campus permanently so my last year could begin and subsequently end because if i have learned anything in the last three years it's that university goes so fast you won't even know when it's done. four months of a vacation is too long for me. it means working all day, everyday and doing other things i absolutely hate. i do that now while i play the 'will they cancel my shift game?' with aritzia. they always win. in my last year, my supposed hardest year, i have to take on two jobs just to be able to try and save for both a european trip next summer and moving out to the big smoke. it's hard. i hate being self-sufficient sometimes.
my last few days have consisted of reading hamlet thoroughly, doing laundry, doing any and all other domestic activities and watching so much MASH on dvd i don't even know what to say except i love MASH so much. my mom's friend calls me a paradox because i'm a girl and like war stuff. i call him a sexist trogolodyte but he doesn't know.
my sheets spin in cold water down in the basement while i am up here, whittling away time by trying to come up with a good amount of content for the paper at school and trying maneuver my way into actually writing them. i am not excited for the politics of my school year that go beyond the communist party of russia.
