done done

It's official: I'm one semester away from graduation.

Let's face it, this is good news for anyone who considers me a friend. I have been the worst communicator the last year and a half, and it isn't going to get any better until next April. Except for the next month, maybe.

I just got home from dropping off my final project. I finished it around 8pm or so, but I didn't relish the thought of walking across UBC's dark campus alone, so waited for Eileen to finish work at 9pm because she said she would go with. Good thing, too, because campus was virtually deserted. It feels creepy in general, but tonight, with the weather being so chilly, it felt worse.

Miraculously, the project I handed in actually worked the way it's supposed to, so I'm hoping my prof likes it as-is and ignores the fact that the summary of my project really was brief (as stipulated in the instructions) and probably didn't make a lot of sense. It was a digital library of drive-in movie ads for refreshments and I had a hard time getting the mp4s to load, but figured it out and it works and it's done and I don't care anymore.

The end of semester is always a bit anticlimactic because, for me, it's a huge thing to be done. To others it just means I return phone calls, and that isn't always a good thing. On the upside, I can start accepting invitations to do stuff. December is already looking pretty busy with social engagements, so I wouldn't mind not having a night off until school starts again.

Good things today:
- the new BUST is out and has Amy Poehler interviewing Phyllis Diller!
- my ReadyMade subscription arrived today and looks to have a printing press on the cover!
- something is waiting for me at the post office, and I think it might be my passport!
- one of the librarians brought in cheesies today!
- I put in an order for "The Party Dress" by Alexandra Black. It's the most beautiful-looking promo for a book ever!

All these exclamation marks are making me tired. Or maybe it's the 18-hour day.
