One Week...

Ah... we're approaching my final week here at Ramp. To be honest, the final period did not go as awkwardly as I expected it to. I think I've been more or less busy during this time, which has made it a thousand times more bearable than if I had to stare straight ahead, with my boss's watchful eye looking over me. Thank god for activity.

Today is the first day of June. The weather here this past week has felt more like late July! Sunny and in the high 70s / low 80s. It's been nice. In one week, I will have completed my class, will be on the verge of a commute-free job, and will be making preparations for my parents' visit at the end of the month. Life will be completely different.

Last night I watched United 93. It was much better than I had expected. It didn't tug at the heartstrings like I thought it would. It didn't push a patriotic fervor. And there were no NYC firemen wrapped in an American flag with a rescued child at their side. Some tears, but mostly it was an adrenyline rush as the passengers stood up to 4 bad men who had put them in the most awful of situations. It was well done.

Tonight, I see Emily for the first time in at least 6 months. Heading up to Capitol Hill for lots and lots of beer, but not enough to make the weekend worthless. Need to get a final paper written.
