Hail the conquering graduate!

[lotus0kid]

Yeah, I made it. Sprinted through the morning, did the ceremony, snapsnapsnapicturepicturepicture, limped back to the suite on torn feet (bad shoe choice, brought it on myself), finished packing, then into the car and home! I'm going to dinner with Dad's side of the family in a few minutes, which'll be nice. After that... who knows? Honestly, I've been so focused on getting through graduation weekend, I haven't spared a thought to the after part beyond the very general "Get a job. Move the heck out of my mom's house before she sells it." I'm really hoping I can have a few days' grace to chill out, unpack a little. I'll have to unpack some, since my packing process has left me completely clueless as to where any of my stuff actually is. There are bags, boxes, and suitcases- don't ask me what's shoved in where. I kind of gives me a headache.

Anyway, I'm beat, but.. happy, I guess. Congrats, Class of '09!

One of the active ingredients can be used to make meth. So yes, a little. Yeah, if you're only going to be able to work for a while, it's best to go in just as seasonal. And then it's really easy to get a more permanent job, because they won't have to train you again or call your references. You know what they say about having a BA in English, though ;) My dad told me that after I graduate I should get a really crappy job that I hate, because then I'll be encouraged to do grad/law school.

Yes, well. It helps to steal the best characters from several shows and just squish them together. I liked how capable he suddenly seemed when it came to storming/kicking ass, I just wish he'd been a little less grouchy emo in the run up. Plus I couldn't properly perve on him with that hair.

(Sorry, finishing ice cream. Mmm, ice cream...)

Aw nuts. Friggin' drug-users, ruining things for us innocent allergy-sufferers. Hm. Maybe something part-time at BN would be good while I look for a real job. I was planning to volunteer somewhere... No, I don't know what they say about having a BA in English, and I don't think I want to.

Heh, you have a point there. Luckily for me it's been so long since I watched 5YG the clearest memory I have is the one guy running up to attack Peter and just getting tossed out of the way like a rag doll.

(I just finished mine as well. Mmm, cotton candy.)

Friggin' drug users have no respect for those of us who also take drugs. But the legal kind! It's good in the sense that at least you're making money and getting out of the house regularly, and that you'll stay used to having somewhere to be on time to, every day. Four years of college and plenty of knowledge... Although it could be worse, you could have a BA in Yiddish.

*snickers* That was admittedly quite awesome. It's a lot like his little smile when he rescues Angela; one of those "Eh, this is cake," faces.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

They most certainly do not. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Hm, seems like a pretty good idea, if they'll have me. Aww sonnuvabitch! Knew I should've gone for the Business minor.

Oh Peter. You have so much potential for badass-ery within you... Though, we wouldn't like it if you lost that girly sweetness of yours.

But you know, what can you expect from illegal drug users? Nuthin'. I'm sure they'll have you! You've got a BA in English! Oh, business minors are boring. Business in general. And these days about as difficult to parlay into an actual job.

Yeah, I miss the girly sweetness he's already lost. But he's still really nice to his mom and appreciates a good hug that doesn't end with him getting his powers stolen. So that's nice.

*sigh* They're so selfish, those illegal drug-users. They might, they might. Are they? Ha! That's some good schadenfreude right there, since my.. heh, my alma mater seemed to be catering to the Business Majors at the expense of other departments quite a bit at the end.

Oh man, those Petrellis and their amazing Hugs of Betrayal. I hope we get at least one more of those before the series ends.

Really. So little self control, too. I think that's true of just about every major university these days. We just recently had protests about it, and while I do think there's a fair bit of disparity going on in the fact that there's a huge brand new business building all on its own with a fancy lawn and a cafeteria, while econ is crammed in with government and politics in a building from the 60's, at the latest, and a couple of vending machines on the first floor, is a little unfair overall, well...they're getting theirs. So there.

To be fair, it's not like Peter gives them. Although...he did give Nathan that "Okay, I'll go and have Mohinder try and fix my power" hug right before running away and into Claude's arms, so I guess he does do a fair bit of that as well.

It's so disappointing, really. Our Arts Department has gotten really shafted the last couple of years, especially Drama. Though, to be fair, the reason they haven't had a good theater the past while is because a new one's being built. Though, construction is pretty much crawling.

Next to Arthur's epic power-stealing hug and Nathan's tazing hug, Peter's little fake-out hug really just highlights how un-Petrelli-like he really is.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Like I say, it's real special that the majors that cause the financial meltdowns get the nice digs and the ones that people expect to solve them get a vending machine that steals your money. Ironically enough. Again, not bitter. But the thing is, people who can afford to give a lot money tend to be in those schools, so, you know...yeah, it makes sense.

The tazing hug still makes me wince. Even though I went back to liking Nathan, a little, when I went back to watch that scene and he was all, "Be gentle with him"...urg. Bad brother, Nathan!

Heh, isn't that just ducky? But I get it. It was the same when I applied to Bryn Mawr- they were looking for people they knew could pay the tuition. That doesn't tend to include the artsy crowd.

Seriously. I don't think there was really any coming back from what he did earlier in the season, even if Peter forgave him, that's why he "died" in the finale.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

It really is. But college is like that. I have a couple of friends in the art school, and they really do have it even worse, because at most econ majors need an blackboard and a slide projector. The art school has easels that fall apart and crappy lockers and...yeah. It's not good.

The only reason I care at all about Nathan and his survival or lack of it is because of what it'll do to Peter. Because Peter deserves not to have people he loves die all the time.
