So, it's my last night in D.C. for this school year. It's been one amazing year that's for sure. Friday night my closest friends and I went out to dinner as a sort of "celebration/goodbye" dinner. It was really nice. We went out to this place called PapaRazzi in Georgetown (if you're ever there get the lobster ravioli...incredible). Then on Saturday we had a mini pizza party on the floor and found ourselves reminiscing about the year. It was a really good year. So much took place that it's hard to believe it's over.
This time last year i was so so stressed out. I had a million exams and felt the world's pressure on me. I think one reason that this year went by so quickly for me is because i was so not stressed. I didn't have all those exams to worry about at the end of the year, i faced that challenge and i moved on. For the first time in my life i shared my room with someone, that in itself was an interesting experience, it's hard to adapt to having another person always in your space, but you learn to deal. I got a job for the first time ever...thank god for pay checks because mommy's $100 monthly installments just weren't cutting it for me. I also turned 19, and wow do i feel old. It's like my last year of teenagedom and i'm one year closer to being a "real adult" and yet i feel not even close to being prepared. I had a new challenge that was college, i was super excited, and honestly, it was everything i thought it would be and more. There were many nights that were spent laughing hysterically with people, many drunken phone calls that took place, and a lot late nights in general. i loved every minute of it.
It's funny that at the end of the summer you pack your things to move away from home, hug your friends and family and may even shed a few tears over the past, and then 8 months later you're doing the same thing, except home is now half of a 14 x 10 room that you share with another person, and your family is made up of a tight knit group of friends. The people i met are amazing, and i love them all and they will always be tied to my freshman year of college.
Granted, i am ready to bust out of here. As much as i love this place, a nice long summer vacation is desperately needed so i can decompress and do nothing but relax. I'm pretty sure this summer promises to be exciting, and i know that next year is gonna be great. I'm staying in the same room actually on the same floor with a lot of the same people. I've got a decent schedule set up and i'm really excited to see what the future may hold.
