April 26, 2005 >> Another step in the process

I don't really know what I was expecting when I dropped off my exam booklet, stained with near-illegible scrawls and smeared blue ink, and walked out the door. My very last booklet ever, full of vague ideas about alienation and utopian schemes to restructure the global workforce based on gender equity. Hardly a herculean effort but, at this point, motivation is hardly herculean anyways. It's barely breathing. I take what I can get, and my hand can only stand so much crampage.

Outside, I thought about how funny it would be if a double-row of screaming, chanting Icebreakers were waiting to throw confetti in my eye and force me to cheer about plate tectonics. Leaving the way I arrived at Wilfrid Laurier: saturated with maniacal school spirit, bewildered and in dire need of a drink. One last dose of Hawk pride, a full circle cycle. But nothing: nothing but a sad, sad row of cars coming home from work and U-Hauls tearfully escaping the city. Nothing but nothing. I smiled. It seemed appropriate that an end that isn't really an end would be so very low-key.

I am a WLU graduate, and I feel exactly the same.
