By Joe Bugbee PULSE WRITER II was during Thanksgiving week when I had an epiphany of sorts. I was silting at my computer (alas, it WASN'T porn related) catching up on the hot stove season in base- ball, when I realized how bored I was. I didn't have to get up early for work or school the next morning, and I didn't real- ly have any money to go out. I was stuck at home with noth- ing to do, nolhing to do hut to wonder, to wonder. The epiphany was thai I'm really going to miss this place, I swear. I'll miss the swirling 90- mile per hour winds, the exces- sive and mind-bending iraffic jams dial dominate Main and Woosler Streets, the long lines, ever reminiscent of the bread lines in Ihe former Soviel Union and present-day Russia and of the Union computer lab and so on. I'll also miss hauling com- plete ass to get a project done and getting a 'B,' which further proves thai not only does pro- craslination work, it really works. I'll miss Ihe breaks in between class, you know, those couple of hours where a stu- denl can collect his thoughts, grab a bile, go over some notes, then jusl as quickly, forget everything that was taught to him. I'll miss Thursday nights, the unofficial start of the weekend. It's only unofficial because every single semester, I always had classes on Fridays. Thursday nights here in Bowling Green are tantamount to Friday nights anywhere else in the Universe. There's really nothing like il: a few cocktails beforehand ai a buddy's house playing Tccmo Bowl, followed by semi-drunken escapades and then capped off by ill- advised visits toTaco Bell. I for- give you Taco Bell, for expand- ing my waistline and adding to my cholesterol. Hopefully my doctor feels die same way. That, in a few words, is what I'll miss about college. There's probably more, but since daddy is nursing a moderate cold, there's a few things that are escaping me. Sorry. I've been asked at least a dozen times what my plans are after I leave here, and each time I've responded this way: "I don't know." This is true, I really don't. I want to write in some capacity, preferably aboul music (God knows I don't really want to work, come on) and grad school is most likely in my future. But once again, if I do go to grad school, the capacity of my learning is extremely, extremely undeter- mined. Sorry again. Okay, it looks like it's thankin' time.
