3 days

Aug 16, 2007 13:40

The house is empty today. Mom is at work, and tom and dad are in Canada. They won't be here to say goodbye. My room is bare these days. It looks like a guest room that is rarely used. There are boxes and bags on the floor everywhere- like someone dumped their stuff in a storage place that no one will see. It reminds me that I am leaving. I went downstair this morning to discover a reminder note telling me to do my homework, a college checklist that has been crumpled, ripped, and written all over. The map quest directions sit next to my list. 545.28 miles. The summer is over, and I leave in 3 days.

I'm relieved to leave because lately there has been a lot of drama and stress in my life. At the same time, I am reluctant to let go of friends and memories, especially while no one seems to be on good terms. I have met a lot of new people this past week and am already feeling depressed because I dont want to let them go. Its strange how once the end is in sight, everyone scrambles to get closer. It only leaves a mess of emotions and open ends that are rarely closed.

To be honest, the thing that bothers me the most about leaving is saying goodbye to my cat. I feel like shes who I'll miss the most. Biff. I'm ready to just get out of this place and hopefully move on to something new and better. If only I could..
