I feel like I'm floating here at school. Just sort of drifting to graduation, you know?

Unfortunately, I do have work to do and social situations to muddle through before then. But mentally and emotionally, I am in a very strange place. I spend lots of time by myself now. I think it's because I am withdrawing from the social scene here in preparation for my departure. I cry more easily than usual. I feel less present in conversations.

The other night, as I was falling asleep, I found myself mentally chanting "I am not here." How strange.

In other news, my SMP presentation is coming right up. I made a Facebook event for it today, which means it's official. (It wasn't before?) Facebook tells me there are now 16 confirmed guests. Matt's coming to see it. Paul is thinking about coming to see it, too. It'll be the first time they'll meet! How exciting.

I gave my first presentation in a long time yesterday. It was on Korean soap operas. (I failed to mention that I was in a commercial in South Korea! How could I forget?) I think I did a fabulous job. It gave me much more confidence in my ability to present information clearly and interestingly. Or rather, it reminded me that presentations aren't really that hard. After all, I'm still a theatre kid at heart.

I am looking forward to the weekend. I have lots of work to do, so the break in class won't really be a break in work. But I feel like it's more acceptable to be absentee on weekends, you know?

I feel like a snail. Slow and inside a shell.
