An Attempt to Empty

Just after realizing that I had a little under a week left in my apartment, I started on a half-assed attempt to eat all the food left in my fridge and pantry. I have been wildly unsuccessful in this endeavour. I even went so far as to purchase more food with which to eat existing food which, as you might expect, left me with a net gain of food rather than the net loss for which I had hoped. I am working on one of my three remaining beers in an attempt to save the most important food items first. Breakfast tomorrow will consist of attempting to finish the 3/4ths of a carton of orange juice still in the fridge. I imagine I will have no trouble finishing off my last set of Swiss Rolls that I hid in the freezer, but the thinly-sliced turkey will likely go to waste. Such is life.

I mean, hell, I'm a day away from being done with college (round one). I'm feeling oddly numb to it all. No, numb isn't the right word - I'm feeling everything, I'm just a bit detached from it. I'm taking this all remarkably well considering that I am, well, me. How I respond to the actual move is a different story, though. If I manage to get out of the house and make friends, I think I'll be fine. Yoga class? I do like the thought of improving my posture. And my Glee group tells me it's a good place to meet people. I'll have to buy sweats or something. We'll see how that goes.

Guys, I graduate tomorrow. I always thought I'd be a rockstar by this point, but no, education has prevailed. I'm not even sure what kind of music I'd like to be famous for at this point. I've been delving pretty heavily into the folk/indie scene as of late. I'm trying to get Alleigh excited about it, but I have been unsuccessful so far.

See, what I should be doing right now is playing Mass Effect 2, but I send my fragile things (computers, guitars, cameras) how with my parents after the senior design show, so all I have left is my half-working laptop. I'm having trouble adjusting back to this keyboard. I wonder what sort of laptop I'll have at work.

This beer is pretty delicious. Central Waters Brewing Company's Shine On. It has suns on it, an is so indie there's no logo on the bottle cap. Yeah, I know. I'm so indie it hurts.

Fine line between indie and hippie beatnik.

Just saying.

To be fair, I am already a borderline liberal hippie. Peace and love and all that.
