when i have a weekend like this one coming up, i make a point of savoring thursday nights at the bar like the last meal before a lethal injection. everyone else seems to be doing likewise, if only because in a couple of weeks half of us will have graduated or gone back to other states for the summer. we’ve all sworn up and down we’ll be back at our usual table the first week of fall, and those of us who live in new york have exchanged the necessary email addresses and phone numbers, but it’s still a little depressing.

that said, last night was great. got perhaps a little tipsier than i’d intended; i keep forgetting that bringing only enough money for a pint or two is ineffective when people keep buying rounds. managed to make it home by midnight however, and i’m up at a reasonable hour this morning to go meet with my advisor about classes for the summer and/or fall.
