The First Of May

The first of May is upon us. There are a lot of things going on in my life in this month of may. Today my brother was inaugurated as president of the student's association at the University of Arizona. In less than two weeks, I will be graduating from the University of Arizona. Two weeks after that I will be packing up my life and moving away from Tucson for good and moving to Los Angeles. I've known that all of this was coming for quite a long time, but certain realities are just beginning to set in.

1. I am done with my formal education.
2. All of my goals for the "future" must be set in motion now.
3. There are no arbitrary breaks or set times for levels of achievement anymore. It is now my responsibility to set these times.
4. I am leaving the city that I have lived in my entire life.
5. I am solely responsible for my life.
6. I will never see many of the friends that I take for granted in college.
7. I can no longer say "it's cool, I'm in college" and get away with it.
8. I have plans for the future, but not plans for now.
9. I must continue my education on my own.
10. I will miss these times.

Not to be a total serious downer, I am very excited and ready to get out of Tucson. I have friends in Los Angeles and will be living with friends. I'm ready to try and apply some of my knowledge instead of writing papers about bulsh. And most of all I'm ready to prove to myself that I can accomplish the many goals that have been marinating in my brain these last four years.

On a lighter note:
I want
Reefer Madness
Dumb Business
Well Done
