Today was the best class yet, lol. It only lasted 35 minutes and ended with us outside on the front steps, symbolically releasing things we're done with at this point in life. Of course, we had to do it right, with the proper ceremony and all.

Inside, before we went outdoors, we took care of the last of our business. We were given a sheet of possible questions on the final we will have next week, then were separated into our groups we'll be in next week--it's a group final; each group will have six questions to answer and then turn in as the group's final. (Much better than taking the exam individually, don't you think? =0}) Student evals were also done today.

As for our lil ceremony, she had ordered ballons for us to which we tied a piece of paper that said whatever it was we were/are done with. Once business was done and over with, we trooped outside into the glorious sunshine, had a momement of silence and...released our balloons into the air, thus symbolically releasing our cares or obligations. It was fun and actually a bit of a relief to watch my red balloon sail up, up and away into the blue sky, carrying my obligation to school with it. I'm glad we did this lil rite; it seems a fitting end to my time at ISU.

***********
Aaanndd onto the Friday Five. This is more of a list than a set of questions, but oh well, it works.

5) Name five songs you couldn't ever do without.

The Burning Heart by Survivor

Breath of Heaven by Amy Grant

America by Neil Diamond

Hmmm, in the beginning I wondered how I could choose, I have so many favorites and thought I would sit here awhile waiting for a song to say, "Pick me, pick me! I'm the one that needs to be a part of this question!" But no, once I started probing my faves they started tumbling out so fast I had to stem the tide at the end. And lastly, here's a song to tickle yer funnybone:

The Stalking Song
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it's only right
To think about the girl I stalk both day and night
So happy together

I dated you for just a week,
You dumped me and I cried real hard, and still can't sleep,
So now I'm going to force you to come back to me
So happy together

I can see me stalking nobody but you
For all your life
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue
For all my life

I call you up at 2 a.m.
I wake you and hang up the phone, and do it again
That's what you get for going out with other men
So happy together

I can see me stalking nobody but you
For all your life
When you're with me, baby, the skies will be blue
For all my life

I see you, you don't see me--
I'm hidden with my telephoto lens up in the tree,
You're walking and you look around suspiciously,
So happy together

I've got your cat, don't be alarmed, (meow)
As long as you come talk to me, he won't be harmed
We'll go and get a bite to eat, I'll come unarmed
So happy together

Forever and ever
So happy together

(Policeman with a megaphone): You in the tree, come down and let the cat go.
