lots going on...
Well I've been working on my final paper for ENG 582 all night, and I'm wiped. I had two "exams" today which were actually four huge final projects. I have three more exams, and I'm already ready to go home for my mini-break of a whole week before the hellish three week class begins. I wish I had the whole summer off and didn't have to worry about a class, two of my certification exams, jury duty in the D, starting/finishing my senior research project, and doing some major DIY home improvements with my my mom. Oh yay for that.
The one fun thing about today was when Annie and I went looking for the abandoned asylum and instead finding the abandoned Native American boarding school. We got out when it was nearly dark and wandered around a bit. It was our own little adventure, and it was actually pretty spooky even though it wasn't really an asylum. The atrocities committed to the Native Americans in those schools were bad enough though....
This weekend was pretty great. It was so long and we had fun with some friends and our favorite neighbors. Lots of margaritas were made and Boone's was consumed. Our kitchen is full of empty bottles that we need to take to the recycling center soon.
I am now an alumna member of Alpha Chi Omega which is so weird. It really hasn't set in and it won't for quite some time. My last day was great though as my sister and Mo and Holmes all came to surprise me and T for our banquet. I started crying when I saw them and didn't really stop. It was so amazing to go through our Hall of Commitment with my sister and some of my best friends standing by. Katie did such an amazing job on everything for me, and I'm so grateful to have her as my little sister. I'm so sad to be leaving AX really, even though I often complained, it was really the best group I could imagine. My sisters are some of the only friends that have stuck with me, even when they move far away. I'm proud to still wear my letters and to be forever an AXO. Who knows, when I graduate maybe I'll be an advisor somewhere? We'll see...it's just so weird to be done after 7 semesters.
So yea, I realized today that my time with Annie and Susannie is coming to an end soon, and I am not handling it well. They are so crazy and fun and put up with me so well that I am freaking out about life without them. Susanne and I have been living together for 4 years, and I can't imagine not living with her. The fact that I soon will not be has not sunk in. Tomorrow I meet with my roommate for next year to see what we need/have. Then it's the last Gamma Gamma meeting of the semester with my sisters, which is always sad too.
I realized something the other day. I am doing really well at being alone up here with John. I'm probably going to regret saying this next year when so many people will be gone, but I'm proud of myself for how well I have done. I'm far from perfect or completely independent, but I don't cry anymore and I just pick my self up and move on. He's far away and grown up now, so that makes it hard for me to feel like I'm relevant in his life anymore, but we're ok. I'm excited to see him this weekend and to party for Jen's graduation. It'll be nice to crash at his place on Saturday night and wake up with Mo downstairs. :) It's nice when my boyfriend lives with my best friend's boyfriend. :) Fun times to ensue.
Ok, I'm off to bed now. Night to all and good luck on your exams! (if they're not done!)
