Is this real life?

Or is it fantasy?
Caught in a landslide.
No escape from reality...

...I could probably make a much more intriguing post reciting Queen lyrics the entire time, but quite honestly, I just completed my undergraduate course work and I'm not feeling much of anything for creativity. I gave every last bit and I am feeling a bit light-headed from the swoon of weightlessness that accompanies the completion of major life goals.

Once I crawled out from under the rock I'd been living under for about a year and shuffled out of a layer of thesis papers (I'm not kidding in the slightest. I wrote a Tolkien-sized equivalent for my thesis work and it's been laying about my apartment for the better part of a year.)

Proof. With a freshly-showered Rebecca for scale.

I'm feeling kind of ...good. Sure, I'm still unaccustomed to the sunlight and it still irritates my eyes which prefer the dank fluorescent light of the library, but I've heard good things about this 'outside' land of which the others speak. I may go exploring today.

Or I may nap. Yeah, that nap is sounding good.

Regards to my fellow colleagues finishing up their school sentence. The beginning is nigh!
