The feeling is beginning to sink in. It's almost over. I've known it was coming. I'll be moving out of this dorm forever in a couple of weeks. Many friends are leaving over the summer and we'll start afresh another semester with new traditions.
It started to sink in when I began to take the posters off my cabinets. Something about ripping paper off that I decided not to keep anymore. It isn't really symbolic of anything in my life (other than getting out of this building), but it just started to hit me. I'm not sure what to feel (other than that I hope the caffeine begins to wear off from that dollar latte five hours ago...) Do I dread the approaching of summer? Somewhat. Do I look forward to it. Eagerly (I love my roomies!) Something just doesn't feel completely right. Maybe I really don't like change at all and I'm quite fond of routine. There's all these friends getting married this summer. While the last couple of years I knew things would be different the next year, it just seems more enhanced for the coming year. We're growing up. In one year, I'll be graduating and looking to teach the year after that. Only one year.
All this from tearing paper off my cabinets...
