I can't believe I've been back in Ann Arbor for a week and a half already. It was SO nice to be home with my boyfriend and my cat, and now my heart is breaking at the idea of leaving them again in a few days. I realized that separation will be the norm for basically 2 full years.. I'll be in Maryland for the school year, hopefully do a summer program, and then go back to Maryland for my second year. I know it sounds obvious, but it was kind of a harsh reality check. I am praying that I make some really close friends, because otherwise I might not be able to function. I'm thinking about saying goodbye to little Figaro again, and I feel just as awful as I did 3 months ago. I know it sounds silly because he's a cat, but that's just it.. he's a cat, so 2 full years is a significant part of his life, and I won't be there. And I mean, I think it goes without saying that leaving David will be excruciating, knowing that I'm only going to see him every couple months for 2 full years.
I'm just really questioning my decisions right now, and I keep reminding myself of what I supposedly want. I hope I'm doing the right thing, because right now, my heart is breaking.
Ok, done being lame and sappy. Back to packing.
