as soon as you finish classes (and after a little too tired partying) (and before a little too tired partying), you run off to the library to get the list you've been making all semester of books you really want to read:

My Life - Lyn Hejinian
Lost in the City - Edward P. Jones
Señas de identidad - Juan Goytisolo
A Journey Through Texas - Frederick Law Olmsted
If This Be Treason: Translation and its Discontents - Gregory Rabassa
Telling Tales - Ed. Nadine Gordimer
Gringos in Mexico - Ed. Edward Simmen
The Last Known Residence of Mickey Acuña - Dagoberto Gilb

U know yr a nerd when you look down and think dreamily, That's me in a slice of time. That's me.

I'm not a nerd, I guess! I want to listen to ELO records and go to bars. I win!

But congrats on finals being done!
