Struggle
Unfortunately, my last day in Palmerton has been fairly stressful..
This morning I awoke to finding out our cat, whom we've had longer than I've been alive, had passed away over the night. The past few days he was really going downhill. It was agonizing to watch.. He was a family member..we all loved him so much.. I miss him terribly.. But I just have to think positively. He's in a better place now. Now he'll be able to run around, jump up and down, and do everything else he had lost in his old age.. I knew it was inevitable...but I just didn't think it would be this soon. Things like this are always sudden, though, it seems..
My Mom and I went out shopping for some more odds and ends that I'll need for college. We did a pretty good job, I'd say. The only issue I have is I don't know how I'll be able to put up my bulletin board on cinder block walls. But alas, where there's a will there's a way, so I'm sure I'll figure something out. Suggestions/ideas would be very helpful, though.
The other day when I was moving some of my stuff into my dorm room, I fell off my bed and hurt my knee. Well, as my roommate put it, I didn't fall off as much as I fell "at", since I was never exactly on it to begin with. See, both of our beds are lofted, and very intelligently, they came without ladders. Thankfully, he alerted our RA to the issue, so hopefully he'll get me us ladders. I don't know how I'd live without a ladder. Literally.
Also, I dropped my television on my big toe, causing it to bleed like hell. Not a good start to moving into college, to say the least.. Also, our room reeks of mold. It's really disgusting. Damn. I forgot to get an air freshener while I was out today.
Besides shopping, I spent today packing with my Mom. I never knew how much clothing I owned, ha. I have two full suitcases, plus two full tote bags. Finally, I'm almost finished.
Well, this is pretty much it. It's time to say goodbye to Palmerton and high school and greet college with a smile on my face, twinkle in my eye, and optimism in my heart.
