Time management: if you want to speed up the passage of time, think of all the things you have to complete before semester’s end. If you want to slow it down, think of how much you want for the school year to be over.

One of my friends likes to think of our lives as being a novel’s plot. Something happened recently which could be interpreted as being symbolic and novel-like. On my key ring I’ve long had a square piece of leather imprinted with the university’s seal. Last Sunday when I was locking the door, this leather square tore off.

I’m finished Saturday May 10th at 12:15. Finished forever.

It’s 70°F and sunny. I walked home in my hoodie. This Santa Cruz ginger ale is delicious.
