Okay, this is really starting to get strange. Classes have ended. A whole semester has passed. It's December. I went to a Christmas party today. There are decorations on all the houses.
It was 80 degrees yesterday.
Granted, today was a bit chillier, and I've been told by many that this winter so far has been unseasonably warm even for Texas. But still. There's no snow, only rain. It doesn't feel like the holidays yet.
We had our last class on Friday, Grad Music History Review. It was decided a while back that the theme song for that class is "I Don't Want to Wait" by Paula Cole, perhaps best known for its role as the theme from Dawson's Creek. So we sang that song at the end of class, as we walked out in slow motion, waving goodbye. Which is why it makes the list. Also, it's a pretty great song. Fits well into the falsetto range.
So less than two weeks and I'm back in Boston, getting used to the cold again and trying to forget for a short time that I am now a Texan. I'm looking forward to going home, it just doesn't feel like a full semester has passed. I can blame it on the weather, and that may be part of it, but really I think this semester just went by way too fast. If things continue like this, grad school will be over before I get a chance to enjoy it. But there's still plenty of time left, right? Some?

A TEXAN?!?! You may live in Texas. You may work in Texas. You may study and party in Texas. But you are a son of Massachusetts, a New Englander. Obviously it's time to get back here and be cold.
McSweeney's messes with Texas and you should, too.
