(no subject)
Tonight is the last night I'll be spending in my apartment...both of my roommates have already moved out, and tomorrow is the last day that I can reside here before turning in my keys. Laura desperately needs to clean her place so that I can move in, the apartment is a wreck and I have barely 24 hours to get in there. I've only spent the night here alone twice, over Thanksgiving break. My roommates left before me on winter break too, but Nolen filled their place. So really...being here alone at night is kind of creepy.
It doesn't help that Foggy Bottom is too quiet tonight...The George Washington University and the Corcoran both had their graduations today, but there's no sounds of partying. Everyone's gone.
I hear all these stories about people's "wild freshman years," and I felt like I missed out on that until I really started thinking about it. This year really has been quite eventful...I moved to Washington DC, experienced living on my own, got a job, went to some interesting parties, saw live theatre, plays, music, concerts, traveled all over, hung out at other schools (GWU, UMD, USM, Assumption), experienced clubbing (meh), gained some self-esteem, made a variety of new friends, grew as a person, and despite my best efforts, I also became emotionally attached to someone, which has been the hardest thing ever to deal with.
I'm not anticipating the fall semester. I'll be living in a building with roommates I'm really unsure about, and Nolen won't be here. Much as he drives me crazy, I do care about him, and I met him 3 days after moving here, 9 months ago. I don't know how to be here without him...sure, in theory I could go visit him in NYC or he could come down to DC, but I doubt it'll happen, and even if it does, it won't be the same.
Oh well. Goodbye Washington DC!
