Senior Week: An Aptly Named Event

So this is Senior Week. Finals are over and we're all just sitting around in a metaphorical waiting room until the big transition into the real world. Theoretically, this is a week of craziness, massive partying, and charged emotions. In reality, however, the opposite is fairly true. Yeah, there's a lot of late-night fun to be had, but I've been out of school for over two weeks now, so I'm a little bored with all that, as are most people.

Truthfully, senior week feels a lot more like living in a retirement community. Most people sit around all day as shut-ins in their dorms or reading or talking to people in common spaces like courtyards. We're all lazy bums just waiting for our student lives to quietly die, much like senior citizens in retirement communities kind of...oh, forget it.

I've hit job applicant's block. It's like writer's block, only for job applications. I'm sick of writing cover letters and getting no responses, and my summer job has made me kind of lazy on that front. I'm very close to giving up looking for a job in New York because I don't think it makes a lick of sense to find a job whose only advantage is that I'll make a lot of money when almost all of that money will go to rent, and even if I should have the extra bit of cash to go out occasionally, it'll all be gone within an hour of stepping outside of my apartment. No, I don't think New York's for me at this stage of my life. Maybe later when I have more work experience that can garner me a higher wage, but right now it just seems kind of foolish.

Also, the i button on my keyboard is extra-sensitive right now. If I so much as touch it, it types up an i. It's really annoying. for example iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. See, I didn't even press it down.
