this is taking over my life.
it's 4 by 8 feet, will be printed by a steam roller, and is consuming every unaccounted for second of my life and absolutely all of my energy.
aside from that, my mind is full and spinning lately. i was officially "accepted" into the program to go to italy this summer, which doesn't really mean much, because applying in the first place pretty much implied going. last night sarah and i talked about apartments and plane tickets and extra traveling and food, and i'm excited.
my birthday is saturday, and turning 25 feels like an impossibility. i can remember my 15th birthday as clearly as if it were a year or two ago, and the time from then to now seems like a blur. this, of course, means that i'll be 35 in about 15 seconds. most of all i'd like to spend friday night with friends, and then my actual birthday sleeping late, eating cupcakes and possibly looking at art, and/or seeing that new 'grindhouse' movie. and i''m not about to be subtle - seriously, somebody bake me/buy me cupcakes. i mean it.
most of all, i want school to be over for the semester, and to go up to new paltz in beautiful spring weather with nothing weighing on my mind and unfinished work nagging at me every second. 5 weeks, 5 weeks, 5 weeks.
