The End is Near
The finality of this semester became painfully evident to me today when I returned my fridge. In fact, one of the reasons I drank so much last night (drlogged!) was today's impending refrigerator return. It served me well over these past eight months, pulling double duty as an appliance and a nightstand. I don't know where I'm going to put my alarm clock now!
This morning I got a message from the Health Center. Yesterday's blood test confirmed that I do not have diabetes, but there are signs of unusual liver activity. Naturally this news comes the day after my first serious alcohol evening in months. I don't know what all this means yet, other than me making appointments (and spending thousands of dollars) for various doctors when I get back to NYC. At this rate, I may need two summer jobs.
Tonight a bunch of us got together for dinner at Bombers in downtown Albany. Without me telling you, I'll bet you can guess that a place called "Bombers" means Mexican food. It was a little pricey (as Mexican always is) but the portions were ginormous. My six-dollar burrito was the size of my head, only heavier. Later in the evening a slightly-different group of us went bowling one last time. Given last night's consumption and today's ambiguous liver news I opted not to drink any alcohol. I bowled quite poorly although I did manage a few strikes here and there. I never came in dead last but I lost to Momo twice, and she only weighs like 95 pounds. While bowling she handed out these little "farewell" cards to everyone who was leaving this year. I got one since I'm going to Japan even though I'll be back the year after. The sentiments were very nice, but Kazu wrote his message in Japanese which means it'll be a few days before I figure out what it says (mostly because he has such sloppy handwriting ^_^).
It may be the weekend but forgive me if I don't feel terribly joyous.
