let your troubles roll by - carbon leaf

so of course i'm writing now that it's nearly final time and i have papers to write. i'm sitting on the second floor of wurster between 100b pinups for tomorrow's review. i didn't plan to be here, i went to strada but with finals looming, every seat was taken. and i hate sharing tables with someone i don't know. so instead i got my usual chai latte and came here. new dividing walls are up to make more space for reviews and it created a little cubicle for me and my table. the door is open and a breeze is flowing in. it is so warm today.
i haven't written in a long time, nearly a semester i guess. things are almost over and i'm getting nostalgic. my last final is on tuesday and then i'm done with college. how strange. i am vaguely enjoying my last days of studying and writing papers but i'm starting to get antsy. i want to be done but once i am i know i will miss it.
my last final is horribly early and then i will have nearly two weeks to goof off before graduation. i plan to waste my time in the pottery studio, making teacups for my grandma as a belated 80th birthday present. i am going to miss berkeley.
i have a job set up now, with an arch firm in downtown seattle. i hadn't heard of them prior to my job search but their office really sold it to me. there were study models of every material possible on desks, it was messy, there were old critiques on the walls, everything just seemed like design. the other offices i visited were surprisingly clean and ordered. models were produced out of house and shipped in for client meetings. this office felt more like the studio i was used to.
i leave for seattle at the end of june. but first i will (hopefully) take a trip with brendan, and visit my older sister and some friends in DC for my sisters last symphony concert in the Kennedy Center.
need to focus.
