Finis

What came to mind was "Hallelujah, 'tis done!" - but I think that's sort of sacriligious. I have held for a time that I really should learn some Shakepeare so that I will not be as prone to use Bible and hymn quotes about situations completely unrelated to the original meaning. Unfortunately, it might just increase the total number of quotes coming into my head and do very little to decrease the use of Bible quotes for non-Bible-related situations.

Anyway, finals are done. I completed my diagnostic imaging exam this morning around 11 am and have since enjoyed a calm sense of freedom from school responsibilities. I am still awaiting my grades in three classes...

I've been killing time, babysitting the library with practically nobody present, getting paid to sit there and do whatever I want (which for a while consisted of typing up some of my old writings). It's fun to see the weird stuff I wrote five years ago... I thought I might share a little, one particular poem that made me laugh, but somehow I think it might not have the same effect on the rest of you all.
Oh, wait, I appreciated the twist in this four-liner (and it demonstrates some of the awkward wording that is characteristic of many of my poems - to some extent the result of trying to get stuff to have correct rhyme and rhythm):
Go to the sluggard, though weary ant
Consider his ways and be glad
That God made your will exuberant
Though meager fared and thinly clad.


That'll do for now.
