magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

so. i'm back in connecticut for a couple of days. i'm driving my van back out to providence on saturday to move all my stuff out of risd housing, but basically my first year at risd is now officially over. i've been thinking about how the end of last semester felt like much more of an ending, even though this is the end of a whole year.

of course endings can be a greater cause of stress than deadlines and such, i've been feeling the physical manifestations of stress (headache, chest pains, etc) acutely all day. so even if i'm not feeling like it's over on a conscious level, it does seem to be affecting me.

i'm sure that not eating all that well for the last week or so didn't help either.

i spent the morning running around trying to get last minute things done. dropped off slide film. finished cleaning up my studio space. packed up a few days worth of stuff. picked up the slides and distributed the appropriate ones.

amy gave me a ride to the bus station. took the bus to hartford. my mom picked me up there. and home.
