Running out of time

Last night there were two major events associated with teh school. Empty Bowls and V-Day. I was lucky enough to attend both.

Empty Bowls is a fundraiser to fight against hunger. You pay $10/15 to pick out a one-of-a-kind, most likely student made, ceramic bowl and get unlimited soup. It's a community event and really enjoyable. The bowls are gorgeous. The soup is good. 

V-Day, or Vagina Day, is all about domestic abuse. As in stopping it. The event is held in the basement of a local church and student performers (mostly female) perform musical acts or excerpts from the Vagina Monologues. It's a really popular event among students. It's well known for the free condoms, chocolate vaginas, and chill atmosphere.

I've been to both of these events before and both are wonderful, but this time around it just felt different. Maybe it's because I've been really tired recently. (Case in point, it's currently 11:06 PM and I am exhausted. Though my eyes started drooping around 9:30.) Maybe it's because I'm a senior. Dunno. Maybe a bit of both.

I had an excellent time at both of them, hanging out with the friendos was good. I guess the weirdness stems from the knowledge that I won't have events like this, with these people, for much longer and that I need to cherish these moments.

School seems to be flying.

While I've been dying for Spring Break, it just doesn't seem like it should be upon me in a week.

I'm ready for Assassins to start. I'm ready for Ultimate Frisbee season. I'm ready to take APs. I'm ready to get the fuck out of Dodge. I'm ready to meet new people. I'm ready to start over. I wasn't for a long time. But I'm ready.

I'm ready, I am.
