galaxy express 999 It didn't come as that great of a surprise to me, but today suddenly became my last day of class for this year. According to the schedule that we had been given months ago at the start of the semester, Thursday was suppposed to be the last day of class, but the professor made an impromptu decision not to have class on that day. She announced that today seemed like a good place to end it and no one in class objected to her decision. In true Charlie Brown fashion neither of the two people that I wanted to see in class were there. I looked around the room and both Mattie and Valerie were nowhere to be seen. Sigh. Not seeing them wasn't that devastating, but being able to talk with either of them just one more time would have been nice. From what she told me, Mattie is graduating this semester, but there is the slight possiblity of seeing Valerie in a class in spring. I'm not counting on it though. The two of them did become my respective Party and J Crew girls for the semester. Obviously neither of them were my main focus for going to class, but it was still nice talking with Mattie and I'll miss her energy. Of course there is the very slim chance that I'll see her next fall when she returns to school as a graduate and or special student. Going to class the past few months really added something to my life. Yes, the social element is a plus, but I need to be able to think and discuss things that have nothing to do with work. I also enjoy the way that there is a definite building structure to the weeks and things seem to change in an academic setting much faster than they do in a business environment. I should use the upcoming free time to get caught up on other side projects, but that may not happen with the holiday madness getting in the way. ... Due to an odd sequence of events, I got to meet Ann's man from Europe this afternoon. He made a nice enough first impression, but I am still curious to see where Ann and him will be a month from now. Almost everything seems bright and or positive in the beginning of a relationship, then as times goes on things tend to change and Ann is definitely a fickle person. My negative thinking was not alone. Even Ann voiced that there was a chance of failure down the line. As to whether or not this becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy remains to be seen.
