When I finish Exams

I am now living on the notion that I'll pretty much be finished with exams in T-2 days. After that only one left, and it's my dessert, enjoyment, fun class that I procrastinate for other classes with.
Right now I'm making a list in my head of things I want to do when it's finished.

Here's the (abbreviated) list of things I miss that I have on tap for the days following exams while I'm still in Durham:

finishing LOST seasons 2 & 3: I WANT TO KNOW WHO THE OTHERS ARE AND HOW THE HECK THEY GOT THERE?!
reading Outer Dark by Cormac McCarthy
reading Housekeeping by Marylinne Robinson
reading People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks
reading (finishing) Rites of Initiation by Maxwell Johnson
starting to read Jasper and Cumming and starting to skim Dix, The Shape of the Liturgy for my paper due in Jan.
getting a manicure
going to the gym, maybe every single day. because I can.
sleeping eight hours a night for multiple nights in a row
watching the documentary on Rublev that's next in my Netflix queue
seeing Joelle before she leaves, who I haven't seen in days- which is more unusual than you'd think for two grown women
doing my laundry and vacuuming my house
sleeping, maybe sometimes in the afternoon, just because i feel sleepy
cooking food, and inviting people over to eat said food on a kitchen table not covered by textbooks
seeing friends in an environment that doesn't require whispering or leaving as quickly as possible to finish a paper.
maybe a little Pride and Prejudice? I think so.
rereading and/or watching Emma


the smell of freedom: just enough to get me through the next several hours.

love,
A
