tuesday is the first day of the rest of my life....?

Maybe I misunderstood. I thought the American road through life consisted of high school graduation, college, getting a job followed by success. I'm just about through with step two, but there's nowhere to stand after that. There is not a job in sight. I have no idea where I will even be sleeping next week. It kind of works out though; I don't want to work and no one wants to hire me.

Tomorrow is my last day of school ever! I've been going to school for 16 years. I have no idea what to do with myself. They tell me to get a job but I don't want to. Can't a guy enjoy a few seconds of his life before he's stuck in a crappy job for forty years, only to be followed by bad golf and back problems?

First things first, I've got two tests standing between me and graduation. I've been staring at the cover of my Latin American philosophy book all day (I've been to that class exactly one time in the past month). I have a take home test due in that class tomorrow but all I've accomplished in nine hours of effort is putting the date on the top and making the font bigger. So, I guess I better get to writing. I need to make sure I pass these tests tomorrow. Then I can worry about what happens Tuesday when the rest of my life begins.
