May 8th: Last final.
May 10th: Flight home.
May 14-19th: KU's finals week.
I'm thrilled at the prospect of couch hopping and saying "Is it summer already, or is it just me?" and coddling everyone with baked goods, attention, and flashcards.

Watched 9 Songs last night: new cinematic low. Essentially, porn! interspersed with live footage of bands I don't really care about. Bizarrely, I've seen more sexually charged/weird films in the past week than in probably the entire previous year, including the godawful adaptation of H.G. Wells' Things To Come for my Utopia course and a surreal and ( Read more... ) -

Am in the library, trying very hard not to write a 250-word "personal statement", which will inevitably end up like all of my other "personal statements"- an adaptation of my (admittedly quite good, but paling) college entrance essay.

This really irritates me. Way to defile the only sacred ground left in the English language, Hollywood.
