Will be leaving town on Tuesday night. Feels weird. Like I'm ending some sort of extended vacation. I know Los Angeles from a different angle now than I had had known just by growing up (around) here. Nonetheless I am excited to be moving on to greener pastures. Some days here feel so isolating and hollow. Like there is nowhere to go that doesn't involve acquiring garbage. One giant highway.
I have been really sore ever since the night that I went to see Shearing Pinx play at the smell. I raced there really fast and I had tried doing this thing called "ladders" that my friend Kellie showed me over Thanksgiving. Ladders involves doing a series of push-ups in sets that increase incrementally by one to a number and then decrease back to one. I'm out of shape and my arms feel like they are going to fall off days later.
Yesterday I went with my friend Athena out to Pasadena to the vegan drive thru and we ate burgers and shakes and rode are bikes a little and then ate at vegan house. We like to eat.
I am now officially done with academics at UCLA but I still have business here until tomorrow. I am proctoring an exam for the class I am a teaching assistant for and I am grading the exams tonight, and returning them in the morning to meet a deadline set forth by the professor. By Friday I expect to be able to cut the strings and focus on getting my shit together in boxes by Monday. I will have the weekend to try and erase any visible artifacts of my 6 months of residence. Toothpaste in drywall, scrubbing a spot of turmeric from a patch of beige carpet. Defrosting my mini fridge is going to be a fucking pain.
