Screw Week: Monday
I have three finals left. I don't intend to study for any.
My last week in Hamilton 307 will include: Improv Mafia, finally seeing X-Men 2, and a final trip to Rocky's. My last week at ISU - at least for a while - will include saying goodbye to some people for a short time and saying goodbye to some people forever. And what I've come to realize is that I probably won't know one from the other.
If the transition from high school to college taught me anything, it's this. You always say you'll keep in touch. Saying it doesn't make it true. You always say you'll visit, but I can't know who will and who won't. So, suddenly, "See you later, babe," is, "Good luck on everything, have a great life, I love you, goobye."
You might be wondering about that title. "Screw Week" is the last week of college before summer vacation - an expression I picked up from Undergrads; in fact, it's the title of the final episode, which I watched with Dan, Donnelle, Jeff, and Caitlin last night.
The finale of Undergrads ends abruptly. Some of the things that we wanted to happen never did. Some of the things that we wanted to happen did happen, but it was strangely unsatisfying. There are loose ends everywhere you look. Nothing is resolved. Nothing is over.
This ambiguous non-ending ending upset everyone else... but to me, it seemed goddamned appropriate.
