ALL SIGNS ARE pointing to the fact that I am graduating in May. They have given me my Cap and Gown (where are my Honors Cords?) and people have started asking me what I am doing after graduating. I still have that stinking fear that I did not check a box to graduate my Freshman Year and (as my friend AO put it) the deadline to check the said box was yesterday. Or that somehow I didn’t attend Chapel/Convo enough. Or they will all finally tire of my touchy-feely “liberal” Episcopal ways and kick me out. Contrary to all of this, all signs are pointing to the fact that I am graduating in May.
DUE TO THIS, I think I have finally gotten full-blown senioritis. Even though I have a respectable GPA, I keep mumbling “D equals Diploma,” to myself repeatedly in a mantra-like way, while still managing to get A’s and B’s. Spring is back in full force today, my desire is for nothing more than go for a drive through the countryside to Asheville, have a nice dinner and hang out with some hippies. But alas, I have to speak to a group of young accompanists about things I’ve learned over my four years. It will be like Ask Andy, except less sassy.
SPEAKING OF ASK Andy, apparently few people got my humor in the last one (although I have still been getting compliments). You can’t always hit a home-run and I’m okay with that. Friday’s edition is about online dating and will return to more typical matters: I share about my time on a Cat-Lovers Online Dating Website (and a Hispanic dame whose username was Meow-ria1978). And hilarity ensues (I hope).
I’VE NOT BEEN ignoring you, dear readers, it’s just that I’m ready to be done: to graduate and be “A Red State Mystic, BA;” to not have to explain myself frequently to a variety of Evangelicals; and to be able to cook for myself and my friends.
BUT LIFE IS short. If I died tonight, would I be proud of how I spent my day today? (Maybe. I will spend more time outside before I go to bed.) Unfortunately, life is lived now and I hope to finish well. So, I’m off to a rehearsal and so on and so on and so on.
