Well, it looks like, if I forget the three page German paper I have to write tonight, I'm done with all my finals. The English final was great; afterwards I wasn't quite out of English mode so I read all of the book I got yesterday: Reader's Block. It was good, but the author, David Markson, is quite full of himself, and it shows.

It took me a while in any case, because I got into a conversation with The Astrologer, who was trying to study calculus in the Colman hall lounge (perhaps the quietest place in my building, especially when my hedonistic neighbors insist on playing their punk rock so loudly) but gave up, endeavoring instead to converse with me. I don't remember her real name, although I suspect it's Adrianne (since she's told me about twenty times by now, and that name seems familiar)

Which was ok, because as an Aquarius I get along with everyone pretty easily (or so the distant, unrelated actions of the cosmos tell me), and I'm naturally talkative with people who I know already, as is the case with The Astrologer.

Anyways, apparently I need to read something by Neil Gaiman -This Insurrectionist recommended it yesterday and The Astrologer seconded that opinion. But not American Gods; I read an except and it was sub-par.

Still writing my essay. I think I'll allow myself to believe that I'll wake up tomorrow refreshed, brimming with the two additional pages I need. In grammatically correct German. Before 11:30. Eh, I'll live.

I set my ride home in stone today; I'm getting to Rice Lake on Friday around six by riding with some girl and her dad. In a pickup with no backseat, so it should be awkwardly cosy. For all that I shrug off the four hour car ride, four hours is a long time, now that I think about it.

The Poet is leaving tomorrow. The Insurrectionist is leaving tomorrow. That Fellow is leaving tomorrow. Our neighbors and half our floor, it seems, are leaving tomorrow. It's just Greg and I and the Residence Life Assistants, I guess. And my ride to Rice Lake, in her room on the second floor.

Tomorrow will be nice, but only after I have my paper done.
