First to go
SammyD was the first to go. We had a kind of "goodbye" lunch on Thursday and then she left early Friday morning to Mars Hill College in North Carolina. It's weird thinking that within a week I'm going to have started a brand new part of life. I'm going to pack up my things and leave my friends to go to a new place and unpack and meet new friends. I'm so excited to finally get out of here and on with life; but i'm so sad to leave it all behind. The one awesome thing that came out of IB was that by the time it got to Senior year there were only 59 of us remaining. 59 survivors. 59 people closely bonded over the trials and tribulations that we came to know as High School. We'd been kept in the same classes and seperated from the rest of the school. We grew to depend on each other, whether it was last night's homework assignment or a 10 minute study session during lunch before a big exam, we were there. Out of those 59 I can say that i knew and was friends with every single one of them. And close friends with about 20.
There are so many things that I still want to do and say to all my friends and so little time left to do it! I still have to finish packing and send my stuff to DC so it'll meet me there by next week hopefully. I'm curious to know what December is going to be like. It'll be the first time that most of us will have returned home for a lengthy period of time. We will have finished our first semester in school and will have adjusted to the new enviornment; made new friends; and had so many new experiences. Will things just pick up with us as if we'd never skipped a beat?
I was talking to a friend i met at Orientation the other day, and she told me that "our group" (from orientation) is going to get together with our roommates next Sunday and all go out for a big dinner in DC. How awesome is that? I'm looking forward to it and seeing all the great people i met in July. Hopefully these people will be people i keep in touch with for life. They say that College is the best 4 years of your life, and i'm going to hold whoever made up that saying to it. But at the same time, I'm never going to forget those who got me through high school and to college.
I hope that when we come back for Christmas break and then Summer break our "IB group" can still hang out like we used to. Some of my best memories come from just hanging out playing stupid games like BS and "the laughing game" and "hat tag". What great times.
Tomorrow we're getting together one last time for dinner. It's gonna be sad saying goodbye to these people for a long time. I'm used to seeing them everyday and complainging with them about all the crap that IBO was putting us through. BUt now that time of life has passed, and no one gives a shit about IB anymore (thank GOD). I'm listening to Nickelback's new song called Photograph, and there's a particular line that i think fits my mood:
It's hard to say it, time to say it
goodbye, goodbye
