Boring Contemplations of the Stereotypical Graduate
April 30, 2010
I feel so very out of my element today.
Pathos takes over.
Here are the expected and boring contemplations of a stereotypical soon-to-be college graduate.
It isn’t just the topic of discussion in the honors commons which is working to list for Tom all of the movies he needs to see. I added two or three to the list but mostly weakly, un-profoundly echoed the insights of others. Clearly my expertise is elsewhere.
Today, I am like Galinda in that I am confused about how I feel but radically different from her in that I am sure my current emotions are not rooted in a hatred for another being. Just a case of lost-ness. perhaps.
Today is the last day of legitimate classes. From now until May 16th I have one last day of work, a few easy response papers and a handful of final exams. Following the completion of these I will walk with hundreds of other to symbolize the completion of an expensive experiment: Can She Learn?
The following transition into “real life” seems like it will be relatively easy. I’ve been “ready” for it since February. But now… today… I falter. Ready? I’m so unimpressed with myself while so impressed with the expectations.
