يوم التخرج

it really is a strange thing to live on a college campus but not really be a part of it. even though the academic calendar doesn't directly affect me (it does however have a strong indirect effect via mrs. noz), you can feel the mood of this place change as the calendar cycles by.

a couple of weeks ago, everything seemed so tense and busy. today, there's a sense of relief, excitement and a bit of sadness too. as i write this a constant stream of cars drive by my window-- often loaded down with belongings, going off into the world.
