From an email to a friend in Colorado

Hey. I've been meaning to email you since a couple days after you left, but today is the first day I've really been able to. My life for the past week has been a Pollock painting of activity, alcohol, and the awkwardness of meeting your friend's parents. Knowing that its the last time you're gonna hang out with a certain group of people has a way of making that time just dreary and awful. But Graduation was yesterday. So we've all been churned out into the world, ready-or-not, here we come. And now, after all that build up, nothing. Nothing to do except for apply to jobs, and use email and facebook to try to scratch and claw my way into the life I used to hold as a college student. Its fucked. I know I sound mopey. Its not that bad. Its just a big transition.
