so moving out today was an experience, let me tell you.... it was so incredibly weird to watch our room transform from where we lived to this empty barren room with stock furniture and no character. it almost brought tears to my eyes to hand over my key and have the door locked behind us. thats where i live! thats my room! now i cant ever go back...i find that somewhat disheartening, although i look forward to what is ahead of me.
last night was one of the saddest thus far. saying goodbye to amy proved harder then i could have imagined. its amazing how close you can grow to someone in so short a time. as wonderful as it is, it makes it that much harder to leave. i held it together for the most part..until i was in the car. watching her pull out of the parking lot and realizing that she wasnt coming back made me want to run out there and say goodbye one last time. i burst into tears. im thankful i had billy there, hes an amazing friend and made me feel so much better just being there. wow. it sounds like amy and i are a couple or something...haha.. i just love that girl. in addition to megan and billy she is my best friend, and the thought of not seeing her for four months is almost more then i want to think about.
despite the bitterness of last night, lets not forget the sweetness. chrissie planned an awesome party for mikes birthday and it was a great way to say goodbye to stafford third floor for the last time. i got my toe smashed, but enjoyed some spicy, yet tasty, mongolian. superb. i will miss mike so much, i dont even want to think about it. when i got back the night brightened up. i called amy and she cheered me, planning to call eachother every day at 830, even if its just to say hi. i like that idea. : )
then jon and justin came over and megan joined us for spoonfest 06 in our monster bed. it was a great night filled with the rent soundtrack, dance moves, and some interesting dialouge. i dont think i finally passed out until like 5 am. the bittersweetness of the night was emphasized by falling asleep amongst some of my closest new friends, and waking up wiht them gone. it was like a metaphor. college brings about alot of new emotions.
megan and i joined the "kleiner kids" (as i dont know if I technically count as one) for lunch today at fresh food. that also was rather emotional, as chrissie and mike came up to say one last goodbye. i cried, i wont lie. its chrissies fault : ) at least shes not TOO far away...then i took my final and did quite well if i may say so. at least i hope..... ben and i talked for awhile, and i said goodbye to my year long lab partner. i didnt realize how close i had grown to that crazy kid, and it will surely be sad to not sit next to him in lab next semester. we made a good team, and hes a really awesome kid ive realized.
afterwards i went to see stephen. we sat in his room and i pondered the coming summer, hoping ill still see him sometimes. that kid has grown to be one of my best friends as well, and it will be so weird not eating lunch and dinner with him every day : (
then my dad came and much packing and chaos ensued. it was craziness as my dad has quite the short temper. jon stopped by and helped for awhile, then i had to say goodbye. seeing as he lives in the UP, i dont imagine i will be seeing much of him this summer, and that makes me so sad : ( i really enjoy that kid.
then justin stopped by. ill miss our good talks. how weird to not see him all of the time. then steve and harry potter came. oh gosh, it was rough. harry lives in harbor springs, so i dont think ill be seeing him too often, and ahh. i cant grasp the fact that i wont be with steve all of the time. its like i didnt even realize how close of friends we were until i had to say goodbye. i dont imagine he feels the same way, but hes come to be one of my best friends : ( i dont like goodbyes.
billy came by but i dont care. ill probably see him tomorrow. haha.
thats when we were kicked out, and my dad and i stocked up on $4 worth of c-store items for probably the last time (including salami and cranberry juice) and pulled away from the freshman campus for the last time. i'll certinally miss that place, thats for sure : ( i love it there. the atmosphere is irreplaceable, and the friends unforgettable. as we drove away i looked back, realizing that in the fall i wouldnt be coming back here, and i almost started crying. beeing that i was with my dad, however, i held back on that one.
8:30 came and i called amy. probably the highlight of the day : ) then i returned tomy dog eating my shoes and my sister running around wiht some card she made me. not to mention my dad discussing the newly discovered news that we may, in fact, be moving to south carolina in a matter of weeks. i sure saved the best for last, did i not? yes, indeed, an hour from the beach and two from the mountains. dad says i can go to USC and he can be home alot more often. (ps. my dad is NEVER home, ever.) this should be interesting.....
oh, family, how ive missed you...
oh, friends, how i shall miss you... sigh...
