It is now.
The time.
It is AFTER an absolutely amazing weekend that I spent at home with Erin and Caleb listening to barbershop despite a horrendous ear infection, going to Waiting for Godot, showing my parents my new tattoo, and seeing my dog.
It is AFTER a crazy week of falling behind with class and countless newspaper obligations.
It is AFTER my class went to see Jesus Christ Superstar. yikes.
It is AFTER a so-so weekend of sneaking into 2 movies so that we saw 3 for $7 in all, mediocre Vietnamese food, yet another newspaper meeting, a fun photoshoot with Haley, watching Dustin Hoffman movies (ahhh dreamy), and laundry.
It is AFTER the first night I put in my retainers for about a week (oops).
It is AFTER my class this morning where we studied Kant and Aristotle. Again. Instead of Othello.
It is AS my virgin hears are hearing Yo La Tengo. mmm.
It is AS I am procrastinating on reading Othello and doing research for the newspaper’s calendar.
It is AS I try to decide what to eat for lunch.
It is BEFORE I change into a skirt since it’s such a nice day out.
It is BEFORE my afternoon seminar, and BEFORE I check my mail.
It is BEFORE my next rehearsal with the Oly Chorus tonight.
It is BEFORE I mail my parking violation ticket that I got in Spokane and which was such a superb greeting as I got back to my car after having cried about leaving Erin and KIX. not.
It is BEFORE I read or hear Waiting for Godot again, because I’m getting as obsessed as my parents, who say the play 3 times in two weeks. Oh, and Happy Birthday, Samuel Beckett (yesterday).
It is BEFORE the next issue of the CPJ.
It is BEFORE I fill out an application for Petco, because that’s where I want to work this summer while at home.
It is BEFORE more and more decisions, and it is BEFORE I end up regretting them… or not.
