I graduate from college today! Hoo-ray for me.
It's refreshing knowing that all this stress and work finally has a forseeable end, but, at the same time, I don't feel old enough to be graduating from college. Time sure does fly, doesn't it?
Anyway, commence doing whatever you were doing. Might I suggest a topic on the brilliance and underestimation of "Heartland"?

And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time
