K, I'm off to the coast for two nights to get drunk with one of my best friends (current Galaga record holder at Ric's bar), my crazy biker lesbian mother and her cancer-surviving girlfriend, my 24 year old angsty teen sister and her tabletop-gaming boyfriend.
Yesterday, after four years of study (some part time some full time) I handed in my final assignment. It weighed in at 151 pages. 55 creative work, 91 edits of other student's work, and the rest for title pages.
