Home?
I'm going home tomorrow. My flight leaves Cleveland International at 6:30pm, and gets into Portland at 11pm. There's a 1.5 hour layover in Minneapolis in there.
My room is now packed. So I have to manage to waste a few hours tonight, and a number of hours tomorrow. It took me most of today. Along with the emotionally draining saying goodbye to everyone here. I'm just coming to realize how many people I'm going to miss over the summer. But the pain of the parting is tempered by the knowledge that I'm going to see them again come September.
Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to be coming home. I'm looking forward to seeing my friends in Portland (as they trickle back in for the summer), to spend time with my family, and to just generally chill. I do need the break. But it's hard to leave here, because being here is so good.
That's all I'm going to say on that. One thing I do know is that I'm going to be exhausted when I get back into Portland. Totally exhausted. After finals, and then having to pack up all of my belongings and empty out my room, along with the trip (with well overstuffed bags), it's going to wipe me out. But that's okay. I'll be back on top of things in no time, I hope.
What else . . . Finals. Went pretty well, I think. I don't have the results, won't for a couple of weeks, but I feel pretty good about them. Nothing that went too poorly, though there's a couple of classes where the final will be the difference between B+/A- area, I think. But I feel fairly good about it. The week was exhausting, but I got through it, and now I've got the whole summer to recover.
We had a get together last night, and the night before. That was nice, seeing folks before they left.
Nathan left on friday. I miss him. I'm glad that we're rooming together next year.
That's about the word. I'll be back tomorrow.
