Sometimes you just need to have some green tea

I am just about done with this whole, finish University and live a productive life. Thankfully, all I have to do is continue my shut-in/hermit existence for another 2 or so weeks and I am free from the dark and terrible clutches of Helen Glass and her Faculty of social doom and oppression. This is the most work I have ever done for a slightly decreased payoff from the past three years.

On the bright side, I have finally realized that grades do not matter. No matter where I go with nursing in most hospitals my grades will never be looked at. That just leaves the Masters degree, which is still a possibility. At this point, I am not going to bother thinking about the next round of school.

Oh the things I will do when school is done! To be honest I will most likely be wasting my time and doing highly unproductive things, but for the moment I will lie to myself.

The first thing I will do is become a professional photographer during this break. I vow that I will take at least 4 rolls of film on the ol' SLR. Each roll of course will be more impressive than the last until I am riding into next semester with fame and praise while being transported from place to place in a golden chariot.

I will also read at least 4 books. 1. I will finish readings the Children's Hospital by Chris Adrian. This book is amazing and due to its fancy medical language and biblical content I have the inside track on all of the plebs. 2. I will read Les Paradis Artificiels by Baudelaire. What better to read about then a Frenchmans take on both wine and hashish. 3. I will read 1984 by George Orwell. This is because George Orwell is amazing, and also because I can't in good conscience call something Orwellian until I read it. 4. I will try to read The Histories by Herodotus. For no other reason than that history is badass.

I am also going to lose my final 15 lbs, start preparing to do the half marathon this year. Finally, I intend to radicalize myself because I am letting myself get to comfortable in the clutches of corporate everything.

The final thing I will be accomplishing? Posting in the blog consistently.

Enjoy the lack of updates and general failure of all of my intended targets.
