Looking Downcast

Okay, so I know I've been away for a while. But there are good reasons for it. I went back home to visit the folks for a week, and then spent some time visiting with Jamie. My cat has forgiven me, why can't you? Now that my strange and somewhat needy/pathetic apology is complete, lets get down to the dirt: I did well in my summer semester (yes, it is a shock to me too. I mean, I really mastered the art of slacking this last semester) which means that I have only one semester left before I, Caitlin, am a graduate. Isn't that kinda freaky? Yeah, I thought so too. I mean, I'm still in the stage of life where I ponder if I can squeeze in one more hour of sleep before getting up...at noon. I don't think I'm ready for the adult world yet...I'm still quite attached to my Rainbow Brite and Jem t-shirts, as well as all the strange kiddy cartoons that I have stashed away for depressed days. I am not ready to join in with the mindless (sorry Mike, this does not, I repeat, does not include you... ... ...yeah, does not) drones that people become once they have left university. It's like people just cease to do the things that they enjoy, instead suffering to the big question of now that I have a degree, just what the hell can I do with it? The lucky ones figure this out before they grad and are able to retain their fun and crazy disposition (Holla Ranchdressing!), many others face more schooling, which prevents them from facing this dilemma. I do and don't. We shall see in December. Until then I will keep you posted as my world starts to spiral into a death twirl of anxiety, stress and despair. Gawd, where's the Chipmunk Adventure when I need it? More strangeness yet to come.
