hello again spidey faithful...
I'm in our dining commons right now because Eric is moving out. He was done with finals yesterday so his dad came to pick him up today. I have to say, I didn't expect to feel like this. I'm really sad that he's leaving. It doesn't need to be said that my time at Penn State hasn't been easy, but throughout all of it he's the one person that's actually been my friend. At points I think that it was only because he was my roommate, but he was still there. He was the first person who I ever hung out with here. I remember the first day I got here, he was in the room unpacking last minute things. I thought to myself "Well, I guess this is the guy I'm going to be living with for the next eight months." After our parents left we watched all twelve episodes of Clone High. That's the kind of relationship we had. Yeah, he drank...a lot. But he never came in the room stumbling and disruptive. Most of the time I would sleep through it. He actually was drunk when he woke up this morning. My time here has sort of conditioned me to be wary of drunk people, but it's always been funny with him. Eric's the kind of person that I'm sure I would never be friends with if he wasn't my roommate, but I'm really glad I am. Plus, he agrees with me that Return of the Jedi is the best Star Wars movie. You can't buy that kind of friendship.
In about 45 minutes I'm going to meet Kate for lunch. This is the last time I'll see her up here. I don't know what that's going to be like. It's kind of weird that I'm saying goodbye to my two friends here on the same day. I really didn't expect to get all nostalgic about Penn State, but here I am, posting here instead of studying for a psychology final I have this afternoon, feeling sad that these people are leaving. I just think that it's going to be strange being in the room without his stuff on the other side. Till next time...
