realization
I used to be glad when a tough week was over. Now that I'm graduating in June, I just resent that I didn't get to fully enjoy it.

cool thing
So Sallie Tisdale, the woman I've been quoting here for a bit, came to visit my journalism class. She marched in and instead of doing something simple like a reading or a question-and-answer session, she picked up a piece of chalk and gave us a workshop on writing about what we're afraid to write about. After class, we were all in near-shock about the possibilities for great stories on stuff like sex, race, disease, family and spirituality. Then she went out for coffee with a few of us, and reassured me that I don't have to be a great reporter, I don't have to write about what everyone else writes about, and that the best stories can come from within.

writing
At 1 a.m., just for the hell of it, I wrote about 2,000 words on my relationship to water. New and improved version: Now with copy-editing!

update
I'm drinking Code Red Mountain Dew, haven't taken a shower today, and have been waiting for three phone calls which may never come. On the bright side, Eliina gave me the coolest compliment ever. She said I walk like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. The way Audrey moves in that film has always fascinated me, especially the scene where she's doing her eyebrows... I could never understand how her wrist moved so gracefully. My next ambition is to become graceful-wristed.

more of bob, on college
Bob, the man from the deli told me today that he doesn't plan to keep in touch more with people he saw at the reunion. In fact, he now wants to keep in touch less. Only he and a select few will get together next time, he says, for a "non-substance abuse" reunion. "I'm not trying to sound like a Puritan," he says. "What looks like fun when you're 21 looks like substance abuse when you're 50."
