A recent spring morning found me at work behind the front desk of the library, merrily checking in books, reading emails, chatting up some cute kid from class, and basking in the newly-returned air conditioning. While printing a document for one girl, I glanced at the title and read: "student.pdf".
This froze me where I stood. The girl was identified as "student." I will be legally identified as such for a few more days before hovering in the "about to graduate" category, followed soon thereafter by--
?
"Recent-graduate."
"Seafood marketeer."
"Fish-monger."
Not-student.
I've always envisioned everything after September 2010 as negative space. I don't know what is supposed to happen. Most likely time will stop. I want a degree-worthy job and I want a taco.

Maybe when we hit September time will start moving backwards and we can go back to WAC.
