| omg, the last final of my undergrad career is over.
After Years
Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.

| MADE OF FAIL: college students who can't differentiate between animal, vegetable, and mineral! i just overheard the following conversation during our RA meeting, between several morons faced with animal crackers.
"is a seahorse an animal?"
"no, it's a fish."
"fish aren't animals!"
"... a scorpion's not an animal, is it?"
(me: ... um, are you RETARDED, or just BIOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED?!? ARGH.)

| am home now!
holy crap, i'm a senior??? i kind of want to rewind. there are things i'd like to have done better in the last three years, but there are more things that i could never change. i've lived more in the past three years than i ever have in the years before, so in the end, i guess i have no regrets.
