yesterday morning at 10:40 am I had my final critique with the art department. a solo, one vs. five affair that lasted a clean 20 minutes. they had no band things to say about my senior project (yes!) and were captivated by these tiny collages I made in addition to my cnn drawings (swell!). that is all taken care of. one paper and one final left until freedom (so close).
the rest of the day was spent waiting in a stand-still line for 3 hours to get tickets for the various events during senior week and catching up on lost sleep from the night before. There was a heady heat outside of AC territory, and at times it felt like northern new york had suddenly become kansas.
Our school has this tradition called 'Primal Scream' that happens at midnight the night before finals start. It happens both semesters; students collect around the central quad between all of the dorms, and when midnight strikes everyone explodes in a collective, cathartic scream. If you came upon the scene with no understanding of what was going on, it would probably appear to resemble a campus-wide sacrifice. Not to mention, following all the screaming a herd of naked seniors come running around the dorms. A good handful of my friends decided last minute to participate in the nekkid bits, but I decided to keep it on the down low and just watched them run around instead.
It was a surreal night, followed by a heavy, solid, duration of sleep. I'll be done in a week. Is that scary or what?
