Breakaway...
Tonight's my last night home. The internet has been down lately so I haven't been able to update. I finished packing. Hooray. Last night my mom made an awesome dinner and brownies (Grandma Lynn's secret recipe.) Tonight we went over to the Schwartzs. Bernice made an awesome dinner.
Sammy is really upset I'm leaving. She gave me Rizzo- the bear she made at Build a Bear our junior year right after she saw Grease. I gave her Penelope Pig. Miss Piggy is coming to college with me.
Right now I'm really excited. I've cried a few times because quite honestly Sammy is breaking my heart. "Don't leave me" 7 years is a big age gap and she doesn't understand that I need to do this. She wants me to go to UCF and live at home. But I can't. I can't go to school in Florida. UF was quite tempting, but I need to make my way on my own and see what I can do. It's weird how much we grow up in the span of 4 years. High school was an amazing chapter in my life, which now is closed. Home will never be the place I spend most of my time again. I won't be able to have Dan annoy the hell out of me everyday, or Sammy be her chronically happy self and ask me to paint her nails or help her with math homework.
I know that we all have to grow up someday, but sometimes I wish I had more time at home, another week, month or year. Another part of me knows I need to get out of here.
Ok- the time has come to set some goals for myself-
1. double major
2. try and be a bit more adventurous
3. exercise daily (not a problem, I live on the 7th floor, that's what stairs are for)
4. go out on a date
5. do something splendid.
ok, sappiness over. I have to finish last minute packing.
