anticlimax

thats been used to describe the feeling you get when you walk across the stage at college graduation. i couldn't agree more, although i'm glad i chose to walk. proud to have the folks who came to watch be there as well. proud to have walked next in line with richard, with whom i have shared many of my college experiences.

what cant be explained is the feeling of relief, but unsatisfied with the level of accomplishment. i need and want a masters. i could give a damn about a big city job at this moment. i could give a damn about taking a, well, i'll call it, "an any business degree works, we'll train you to be a drone for our corporation job." at least with a masters i can actually call myself an economist or move up decently once hired by a think tank or govt job. so, for now, i'll work at the 'dam restaurant and learn to cook and work well with a team. that might actually get me somewhere.

plus, with no school i have time to spend elsewhere. like starbucks. "funny the way it is", new single by DMB, is stuck in my head something fierce.
