Since this is my final semester, I am writing my thesis.  In my psychology program, our thesis is 20 pages long.  Mine is still very much a young paper, a fetus even, but right now the title is Walking the Path at Eight Dollars an Hour: A Contemplative Look at Customer Service.  I have yet to fully formulate the specifics of what I will cover, but ( Read more... )

I love riding my bike in the fall.  The cold air makes me feel so optimistic.

Ugh.  Fuck last semesters of colleges.

I am so done!  I plan on getting through this semester by doing as little work as possible.  My thesis is going to be just great.

Also, what the fuck is up with Gertude Stein?

I sound so immature.  I FEEL immature!  I am scared of graduating.

I have had a super outrageous couple of weeks.  I don't especially know how to explain why it was outrageous.  It's just that I finally "got involved" at school by becoming an orientation leader.  I did a lot of stuff but the hardest part was being present for a group of new students and knowing how to be with them through orientation week and ( Read more... )

As of 12:30 tomorrow I will be co-running a group of 22 new Naropa students for orientation week.  Whaaaaaat.

It's like being up late

With your new wife,

And it just dawns on you

I just got fired (unfairly) from my job.  I've been spending my time sitting here sending out my resume while listening to a beautiful compilation of bands from Olympia that a traveling couple gave me.  It's been raining almost every day for weeks (which is totally unheard of around here), and rainbows keep showing up east of my apartment.  It's a ( Read more... )

I’m melting

My stitches are burning, bursting open

I’ve been meeting mermaids

And making friends with ogres

My new sunglasses make me

Think it’s ten at night

Hello to the man on the street

Where’d you get your bike?

I’ve been ready for a while

To meet girls with their smiles

The structures I built are solid

But they’re made ( Read more... )
