I missed yesterday because, you know, I like to go out on Thursdays. And I stayed out far later than I wanted to, but for mostly good reasons. I went out with a class, and saw the new Star Trek, and went out with friends. And that's the quick and dirty.

I realized yesterday that time seems to have slowed down, rather that sped up, by the impending fact of leaving college. Normally time seems to speed up when you're dreading something, but this is one of the rare and beautiful occasions when the opposite is occurring. When time is so slow as to be near maddening.

But then again, it's nice not to rush. Just to enjoy every last minute before one of the scariest and exciting times of my life.

In other news, the least that the conversation with Ian did was grant us each a little more patience with each other's recent and forthcoming assholery.
