We're going down, in smoke and flames...
So today was the official last day of studio, and I'm not so sure I'm okay with it. I'm not good with endings/goodbyes, worse [in fact] than I am at beginnings, so it was difficult. I mean, I was okay when I was around other people, as is usually the case, but now that I'm alone, I dunno. I think I've made the right choice in choosing SCAD, but the idea of uprooting and starting over for the second [or third, depending on how you look at it] time this year is a little less-than-appealing. I don't become attached easily, but when I do, it's usually a long-term thing.
Jessica liked the cookies, and the lovely unicorn picture, and the Unicorns CD that I made for her. And the E1 card that Leah, Lauren, and I made yesterday, as well. However, she also seemed pretty sad. I've never seen that woman as quiet as she was at the end of the day today. She hugged each of us goodbye when it came time for us to leave, and looking back and waving at her was so incredibly heartbreaking. It really was like watching a mother watch her babies grow up and move off, the way she looked at us. And she has had a sort of motherly influence over us, I suppose. She has shaped us for the rest of our careers, whether we realize it or not. We'll have instructors in the future who are going to be the complete opposite of Jessica, and they'll surely impact us as well, but deep down in our brains, we'll always have the "no-nonsense, logical, minimalist, modern, funky, functional, fuckin' awesome" Jessica ideas floating around. I gotta say, I think we're the better for it.
My Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:30-6:00 pm [and any given night/morning of the week, at that] will not be the same without Brian, Erin, Leah, Lauren, Patrick, Cole, Ashley, Cindy, Drew, Ian, Bradley, and even [grrr...] Tas. E1 was tight, we keeps it real [oh, geez...]. But seriously, even when I make SCAD friends, I think 9/10 weekends are going to somehow involve my E1 buddies. Erin already has dibs on my bathtub, anyhow ["I'm just gonna show up in my bathrobe with a bottle of Mr. Bubble and a bottle of bubbly, and that's all I need..." "Haha...alright, Erin, no prob."]. And let's face it, getting booze through our hookup at the Jewfrat is the only way to go.
Summer plans have already been made, as well. Brian's from an area of Maryland near DC, my aunt lives in Fairfax [also near DC], so we're gonna party it up on the Potomac [Mayhaps I'll see if she'll let a bunch of us stay in the river house...that would be AMAZING!]. We've also been invited to Jessica's family's 'beach house' in Michigan, so after our shindig in the DC area, we're gonna hop a train up there, and live the chill life with Jess and the crew. Should be sa-weet. Also, depending on what's going on, I might see if I can stop off in Massachusetts at some point. We'll see. The rest of the time, I'll probably be working. Who knows where, though...?
Tomorrow should be amusing. 1060 exam review [Just to give you an idea of how that might go: Sabir-"Just review your notes from the semester, and you'll be fine. You're dismissed." Us-"Fuuucccckkkkk..."], and then our last [official] E1 party. Which will involve me and Brian downing a case of beer, drunkLeah [always fucking hilarious], and exquisite corpse. Which should be, well...exquisite, seeing as we have tons of new material [including, but not limited to: no-no's, essence, jupiter (read: schoo-pit-air), goatse, titty tassles, the whisper song, unicorns, and 3-week, 2-day, 7-hour, 9-minute-long lapdances]. I'm excited!
Also, I debuted the pony shirt today. It was...majestic. Cindy--"That shirt's so...sad..." Haha...you have to understand, this is the same girl who has been known to say "What's wrong with Kelly Clarkson?", so yeah. Oh, Cindy...
