Graduating (Naturally)

It was even as recent as yesterday (Sunday) that I was denying the fact that I would be finished with college soon. I denied that I even wanted to be done. Because graduation would mean entering the adult world, with no more road blocks legitimate or otherwise.

And suddenly it hit me. One of the times I tried sleep last night, I was washed over with relief and joy. I am fucking graduating. I'm getting the fuck out of here. Even though here isn't that bad and there isn't much better. I'm gone. I cannot wait until Wednesday or Thursday or Friday or Saturday. It's like an itch I cannot scratch (and I'm an expert on this).

I'm lucky I didn't have this feeling earlier. Perhaps my stress would have been less but . . . let's just say today I did absolutely nothing. I literally slept most of the day, left the dorm twice, watched CourtTv, and half-assed some packing. I got some essential stuff done earlier (between trying to sleep) but really, I accomplished little. I already had serious time-management, procrastination, and senoritis concerns before . . . I did not need to worsen it.



What's the deal with combining products? Suddenly Shout has Resolve power and Tide has Dial scrubbing. Why are we increasing the power of our already too powerful chemicals? While I personally think Resolve is great for carpets, I feel like I'm killing brain cells with fumes AND I'm terrified that it will eat through my clothes. And why are we combining dish soap with laundry detergent? I'm already trying to find ways to use less chemicals. I have to use All Free and Clear and Fragrance Free Bounty. And sometimes even just that is a challenge for my skin to handle. I mean, stains come out pretty easy with cold water and hand soap and normal laundering (and I am not a neat person). Shouldn't are chemist/scientist be working on something useful to someone other than OCD soccer moms? What about the children starving in Africa and people dying in the Middle East. Can't they find a scientific and peaceful solution to those problems? How about cheaply and safely mass manufacturing mylaria vaccines or finding a cure for AIDS (something I think we can fix)? Or anything really besides making Super detergents . . .

I'm going to write about vampires now, something else I thought of between attempting a nocturnal sleep cycle. . . .
