Going to Boston

Well, we're off to Ashley's this evening!!! It sound be an interesting trip (and by this I mean the actual squishing of all of us plus our stuff into one Katie's mom's van.) It will also be lots of fun, and probably no less crazy once we actually get there! Hopefully we'll all still be talking to each other, or we'll all just have to talk to Ashley and Alex and ignore everyone else. No, it should be fine! Five of us went on a Maine trip and lived to tell the tale (though there was the incident in which we drove across the same bridge twice...but it just added to the excitement, so it was alright.) Anyway... Jess has made mix-CD's to listen to, so that should make the trip more interesting, even if they simply inspire discussion...I mean argumentation... over which songs are good and which aren't. We shall see. I'm very glad, very glad indeed, that I bought a whole package of new camera batteries, so I will probably be taking pictures from the moment we set off! YAY! I have to go pack now!

I can see most of my floor...

...at least, more than half of it. This means that I can lie down on my carpet without first looking to see what box or bag my feet are going to run into. I'm not a tall person, but there was only one path, and hence only one way to lie down previously. Now my feet do not have to be in the West, they could be North, or even placed in a Southerly direction! This matters greatly for someone who spends most of her time on her floor when in her room. I am afraid, though, that the rest of my school things will not be put away now that they are not in my way. There's no incentive for me to find space that currently does not exist in which to shove them. Ah, well.

Teddy has actually been hanging out with me a lot. For the first time in what might have been a year, he has been sleeping on my feet at night and I wake up and he's still there. I'm not used to sharing my bed at this point, so I'm afraid he's gotten kicked a little here and there, as I try to roll over and my foot ends up on top of a cat! Tiger also has been purring a lot and seems glad to see me. He only tolerates us so much, but he's been very tolerant, actually enjoying our company!!

For some reason I have only been home for a little less than a week and I still feel the need to have my whole summer planned. I need to get writing. And I need to figure out which books that I've been meaning to read I should try to read now! OK...I think I'll go try to be productive now. This means that I'll go for a run, organize some more things, try to write...

Last Night At Wes

It felt so strange to walk one last time down Wyllys Avenue from my dorm to my professors' offices to drop off my paper and take home. I wasn't sure whether to be really happy, or really sad! It's now my last night here. Some people are still doing finals, most are done. Some of my friends are playing drinking games. It's been really sunny and warm today. There's a huge heap of stuff that I've already kind of packed in the middle of my room but I lack the ambition to pack it all tonight. There isn't anything I really want to do around, and I woke up at 6am, so I really should just go to bed...but I want to see if other people come home and I can see them tonight. Nadeem has a test tomorrow and I don't think I'll see him before I leave...so we had a good bye hug...and later I almost felt like I could really cry. I don't want to leave this place! Whether or not I like Wes or Smith better, I've had such a good year here and it's hard to leave! I do love Smith, yet last year seemed to drag on forever, and this year went by too quickly!! I'm like a senior in that I'm leaving here, I won't be here as a student next year. But, at least I'm not preparing to enter the real world!!! I feel like I had good things to say, when I thought to post earlier today, but since then my brain has turned off, my thinking going down hill, and I have nothing important to add...ok...going off to entertain myself for longer...
