Woo Hoo College!

-In almost exactly four hours I will take my last final exam of my undergraduate career-ever!! =Woo Hoo!
-I received an email last night from my professor/employer saying the fines (she) incurred on my account have been taken care of,
-I just about finished up my nightmare filing project for her and on top of it all,
-We received a really cool new trainee out of the blue. (Special thanks to everyone who didn't let us know she was coming because reception is no longer "part of contract")
-My new laptop is on its way across the country as we speak and
-I get to leave at 2:20 in the morning for New York to see some certain wonderful people.

Now if only I could make myself sit down and study for the last time in a long time...

Flittering around

So as long as I have known I am going to India and as long as I have had to tell people that, "yea I actually only have about the first 6 months after graduation planned out haha yea no life plans! no, not sure when I am going back to grad school, yes India will be very "eye-opening and oh yea well they actually speak English there..." I have also gotten the question, "are you going to travel?" or "where are you going to go, what are you going to see?"

For some reason coming up with an answer to this question is a lot harder than trying to explain to people why and how I am working for PCVC ("well I'm part of this organization that started after WWII...") At this point I say well I am planning on going to Goa with one sweet dude hopefully and I'd like to get up to Dehli to see a couple of other sweet chicks again but beyond that I was sort of thinking "gee I guess I'll help women fight off abusive husbands and maybe try to find a beach if I have the time?"

So, I've recently had a change of heart or at least the revelation that dv might not and probably should not have to take up all my time. I'd love to get to Pakistan and Bangladesh, I wouldn't mind doing some trekking up north but given the whole Jammu-Kashmir debacle I'm willing to compromise a little on that one. Afghanistan would be sweet too, but nobody tell my parents. Anyways, if anyone else knows somewhere sweet I should be or knows anyone with some floor space in the aforementioned locations, let me know. After all, I need something else to say to everyone I run into in Geebs besides, "yea India, yes it certainly will be interesting, yes its certainly not GB and yea I wouldn't want you there either" Just kidding! :) Peace out!

Full of Doozies

The BBC was full of doozies today, wonderful stories that make me want to slap my head at either the obvious stupidity or blatant stereotyping going on.

Apparently the US cane call out the corporations of other countries with linkages to "terrorists" but not our own?

Item #2

While technically this women's inability to water her lawn is not the real crime that put her in jail, that people are approached by police IN THE MIDDLE OF DESERT for not watering their lawns when there is already huge water shortages all over the world and the US is rediculous. It happens everywhere, all over the world, but seriously when are we going to get over having green perfectly manicured lawns?

Item #3
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/6253204.stm
So apparently its all women's faults that boys are doing poorly in primarily school because they only know how to teach to girls who ONLY learn by social and visual means as opposed to boys who like to do things "that have a purpose" So girls and boys are uniform in their learning styles and female teachers have no ability to teach to different learning styles? And why are more men not teachers if we women are really so incapable?

I'm done venting for the day...

I haven't written in a while, not entirely sure why.

I'm laying on my stomach right now trying to bang away at this keyboard as quietly as I can to avoid waking the messiah sleeping next to me with his feet in my face.

In a few hours, or as soon as I can rouse him he'll be on his way, starting a new adventure and in a way so will I.

Lots to learn, lots to sort out, slowly figuring out that graduating from college means not simply the end of classes, but the end of my knowing what I understand about myself and don't, what I am capable of and not, what I am good at, where I am useful.

Its good to know there are so many people through whom I can live vicariously-its good company to keep. Its good to know that one of the most amazing people I know in the world is almost on his way-its a good feeling to be so excited for someone who inspires me and drives me so much already and to know that he is only about to raise the bar even higher. Its good to know I get to leave soon too to go explore, and fuck up and hopefully find my own small ways to be useful.

Woot Woot, its a good day...
