As of 2:45 pm this afternoon, my semester was concluded. I walked back to my place, verbally spoke to myself with, “That was rather nice,” and then continued to listen to Rufus Wainwright’s “California” that caused me to undeniably saunter.

And what was the best part? I never burnt out. Yes, there were times early in the semester when I found myself trapped and had to run to Cowgill to my friend Erin who would sit patiently while I lost myself in petty moaning. But, I balanced my social and academic life this semester, had a blast in both fields, and signed off this round of courses with promising hopes for the spring semester.

Mmm. Well, I may have to take that back. The best part may have actually been the celebratory afternoon vegetarian lasagna, thanks to the cooking genius (& recipe notecard) of le Abigail.

But in summary, and what a brief summary this is, it was a fantastic semester.

I did a couple things this semester that haven’t yet been mentioned, but will be mentioned in time, but I will expose one of them now: I wrote a poem. It came to me on the bus this past weekend, and it is about vikings, and I only write it down now because it is stuck in my head.

Were Leif not a tyrannical magnate
Thor’d've not been irrevocably irate.
Such then has history remembered
(Their reputation long since dismembered)
That Vikings were just Swedish pirates.
