brilliance thy name is the end of finals week

Ever since I have been probably an infant, May has been filled with this fantastic feeling of relief as the school and pressures of becoming educated draw to an end and I can begin to focus on the things I most care about. This summer it’s several things long. I want to read more fiction. I want to get a job. I want to volunteer with Catholic services in town. I want to do more web design. I want to work with Bearman on more oral history projects because I love them Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates, Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas, and Jitterbug Perfume
