Commencing something or other

As I've made more than painfully clear here, the last many years of school have been rife with suffering, irritation, and uncontrolled rage (on my part), and as such, I had fully intended on skipping "the walk" and letting my last final exam be the end of my relationship with the school.

I've given in to the myriad requests that I make the walk (the most compelling argument being that it's a way to get solid closure on the trauma) and will do so this Friday.

Friday, December 12, 2008 at 2pm in the Dee Events Center I will join a bunch of people I don't know and dress up in a purple robe with a square cardboard hat and give the finger to a near constant source of anxiety and stress.

And six months from now I'll start paying off my student loans.
