Finished . . . done for!
. . . but in a happy way. :-)
The goal for monday night was to make it to page 90, and write 9 pages of literary analysis. Somewhere around 3:30, I had made it to page 86, and decided to go to bed and hope the last 4 pages happened during revision. I got the literary analyses finished & turned in tues. afternoon, and had wed. and thurs. to study for my 2 finals of the semester (both of which were on friday!).
Spent sat. rewriting a problematic chapter, then edited and consumed mini-crullers frantically all sun. afternoon (except for the hour i fell asleep), and into the night . . . . somewhere around 4:00 am I wrote a hasty new half-page, threw in a beginning of a chapter that I had written weeks before & hated--and hit the magical page count. And there are only about 4 1/2 pages in there that I detest, and quite a few that I'm happy with; so I came out pretty well, overall.
Woke about around 11:30 today (er, yesterday), and made it to the dining hall, massive stack of paper in hand, in time for lunch. As I walked past the lake & up the hill to the main building, holding my story, I felt like singing. Like I had finished, conquered, triumphed. So I put the paper in the AMP's box, and ate stirfry.
And so it ends:
90 pages
25, 119 words
29 classes
7 semesters
. . . and only 4 more days. Then strange black hats left over from the Middle Ages, imaginary bits of paper, tears and laughter and goodbyes. And this world, which has been my life, will be gone.
It's already going. I'm standing right in the middle, but already it's slipping away around me, and I can't stop it, can't hold on to it, can't even slow it down.
I'm finished. And I want to cry.

"Ha, Ha! Ha, Ha!"
I know the feeling-- at least the crying part, if not quite the being-done. It is a Good Thing to finish (congratulations!), but much more tearful than I guess I ever thought about. If you want any company, I shall be thoroughly happy (or something) to cry with you. =)
which are the two favorite actors in proof… jens and lisa, or jens and steve? i'm sorry you're missing it too. it was great. but yeah… we'll definately (!) be going to x3. ~see you soon~
i meant Jens & Steve Valentini. Lisa's really good too, of course (nurse & Lady M, right?). but Jens & Steve were pretty much the best things about their respective plays . . . . i'd love to see them act together.
that's what i thought… wish you could have. all four actors were outstanding, and steve's amazing. i think jens is my very favorite actor though.
it was a very funny play in some ways: very quotable.
Great site loved it alot, will come back and visit again.
