"before the night is over"

so guess what ladies and gents: I have officially graduated!!!! yes indeedy, my undergraduate career with ACU is over and done with and not a moment too soon. it's nice to have a chance to just sorta sit back and relax and not worry about what i have to read or write for a while (though, on the flip side, i'm also a little weirded out because i don't know exactly what to do with myself) but all in all it's a nice feeling. and surprise of surprises, i didn't blubber like a baby at graduation. i held together very well actually, only teared up a couple of times and managed to keep it from spilling over. so now it's on to grad school at WT and who knows what else (i hate having to find a job! i wonder if they have a writing center at WT that i could work at, because that i think would be a great job for me). and in other news: i wrote two one-act plays. all right, so one's really just a short story that i converted to one-act and needs a bit more as it's only about 20pgs long, but still, it could be a fuller one-act with a little more work. eventually i may post some of the stuff i wrote over this year on here (or one of my many other sites...then maybe there'd actually be something on my blog that's more interesting to read) and along with that, i've got several other new projects of interest like, Things I Can't Tell My Mother, a creative nonfic sorta encyclopedia-esque piece about all the things i do that my mom does not or would not approve of. seems funny to me. anyways, i guess that's all i've got for right now, so I'll say goodnight...and have a pleasant tomorrow!

Nothing but an empty page Breathing in an open space Captured by your moment's grace again There's so much I left behind Even more that waits in time Everything's so undefined I'm standing on the edge of my fear And I see it clear Here's my resolution I'm letting go All I need to learn is along this road And I just want to be the best man I can be Breathe, it's my resolution Living life without a plan Finding solace where I stand And learning how to love again And all I want is something real That I can feel Here's my resolution I'm letting go All I need to learn is along this road And I just wanna be the best man I can be 'Cause here's my resolution I'm letting go All I need to learn is along this road And I just wanna be the best man I can be Breathe, it's my resolution My resolution
