Haiku-a-Day Challenge: Week 52 and the final few days

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT.  One entire year of haikus every day.  WTF.

Caturday 6/30/2012
Big day with Cool Cat
Afternoon beers and a film
Then: TERRIBLE things



Sunday 7/1/2012
Tall ships in Boston
Filling my gut with chowder
Like... so much chowder


Monday 7/2/2012
Only one more week
I'm becoming terrified
Ready to be done


Tuesday 7/3/2012
Yet another day
Beers bring solace after work
Now more thesis work


Wednesday 7/4/2012
Fireworks in the rain
A damp, incredible sight
I'm ready for Chines


Thursday 7/5/2012
Time for some training
This week is getting hectic
I need to de-stress


Friday 7/6/2012
Out with Ed (again)
Insane Boston roofdeck views
Another great night



Caturday 7/7/2012
Bachelor party!
Polish Horseshoes and swimming
Bacon burger. YES.



Sunday 7/8/2012
Whitewater rafting
Exhausting and refreshing
Now I must prepare.



Monday 7/9/2012
Thesis: DEFENDED.
Rocked it like a hurricane
I have my life back


Wow, this has been a wild ride.  A YEAR (well, a few days more than a year - leap years are crazy) of haikus every day.  It was a pretty interesting experiment: I found that it was a really good way to get a mini-recap of my day.  Just a few words to help remember what I did each day, each week etc.  I've actually used it to go back and see when certain events happened and to check dates.  And it only took like 5 minutes a day.  Not a bad way to get a little creative (or boring as hell when all I do is thesis work).


Also, I kind of wish I could get some stats on these.  Like "how many times did I use the word 'awesome' or 'thesis?'"  And the fact that I've called it "Caturday" every single week has had it's effect on my vocabulary.  I can't believe it's been a year.  If you'd like a little haiku-recap, you can start here and go through or look up the "haiku" tags.
So, who's ready to help me publish these?  DON'T ALL JUMP AT THE SAME TIME.
