Everyone has caught a case of nostalgia
and the crazies seem to be going around too... so aside from the screaming woman from the other day... I was walking to work today and a lady in her car was flipping out too. She was screaming at the top of her lungs at a bus that was trying to turn... apparently she thought it was going to hit her. I could still hear her after like five minutes. I think Ritnour needs to supply crazy pills for people
anyway... so it's starting to hit me... it hasn't quite gotten me yet... but it started yesterday. Jess has been making this video of the Center and I really wanted to see it... and her before she left. So I watched the video and got this doofy sappy grin on my face. The best way I can describe the feeling was "bittersweet." (a little more sweet than bitter) I wasn't a one of those who spent every waking moment in the Center... but over the past two years it has become a part of my life... usually a place where I felt welcome and comfortable. There were lots of laughs shared... and even though the past couple months have been rough and going in there was sometimes awkward... I felt kinda sad watching the video of all the hugging and smiling faces... But I knew I had to be in the video so I called Kristen (who was upstairs at work) and made her come down. I'm in it jumping up and down like a moron and spinning Kristen around while hugging her. Then I walked with Jess downtown and we said goodbye... I almost cried. She said she loved me and I told her she HAD to come back to visit soon. It would be so much easier if everyone stayed...
Then I came home and Sam informed me that she was leaving tomorrow (which is now today.) Ug... After I get home from working all day... I'm gonna enter a freshman-less apartment. Sigh... I can't take much more of this. It's gonna get me soon... I can just feel it
