It's coming . . . the day where my 5 years of university life finally come to a close. This week is finals week, and since I've been student interning all semester, I don't really have many finals. I do have a Spanish Phonetics final (the class I should have taken while studying abroad), and a College of Education Exit Exam (for certification purposes) both on Friday, neither of which I expect to be very difficult. So, I'm spending this week chilling, packing up the rest of my stuff and getting ready for Commencement--just 4 days away.
A Few Things That I Have Packed Away Today
You can tell a lot about a person from posters and little knick-knacks they have lying about, can't you? A few of mine:
1. A poster of that says Kermit Clein in bold showing Kermit the Frog in saggy jeans showing the top band of his undies that say "Kermit Clein." It's black and white and of course a spoof of those ridiculous Calvin Klein ads--when I first saw it I just lost all composure doubled over in laughter so I had to get it for those days that I feel a little down.
2. A collage of Curious George pictures from an old calendar that served as the background of my bulletin board. I just LOVE Curious George. He's the cutest thing known to man. He's a mischevous little guy, but he has a good heart. He wants to do the right thing. I also have a small collection of CG posters, a little CG stuffed doll, a CG flashlight, and he serves as the background on my laptop. I know, borderline obsession. At least I admit it.
3. Various poems that decorated the bulletin board on my door: "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" by Langston Hughes, Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, "Meditation 17" by John Donne, a poem written by a Spanish graduate student after the train bombings in Madrid last year, and one by yours truly entitled "Mind Wanderings."
4. A hilarious "expose" of the 24 hour diner on campus by the Crimson White that was posted on my bulletin board. It's complete with grainy photos taken by cell phone cameras (ungloved hands circled in red), and testimony from students whose service at the diner was less than sanitary and professional. Though the tone of the article was serious, the way it was presented was just too much so I had to cut it out and save it. Another one of those "for those days when I'm feeling a little down" things.
I could write more, but . . .
What I'm about to Do Right Now
Eat the "Crimson Meal Deal" (7oz cheeseburger with the works, baked potato with sour cream and butter, cookies and 32 oz sweet tea all for $6.99!) I ordered from Steak-Out while I watch Spanglish. Boy, I could really get used to having nothing to do.

Oh I envy you, I have finals next week and then have my student teaching next fall. I can't wait til it's all over. Then again, the idea of being a real life grown up scares me to death. By the way, you should post some of your writings...inquiring minds would love to read it!
Thank You Lord for times of refreshing & being able to order Steak-Out - Reflect and know you are precious in HIS sight... I liked the way you described CG, 'cause he sounds just like you :0)
