May. 9th, 2003 12:24 pmI AM A SENIOR IN COLLEGE.
I am done with my finals.
No more history, theology, philosophy, or statistics classes required. I WIN.
I spent yesterday afternoon, last night, and all morning today helping Vicky and Jess pack up and move out. Clearly, Jessica can't move in or out of a dorm without my presence. I was just going to help Vicky load up her car and then help Jess pack some, and then go home. But then Jess and I went to bed about three o'clock this morning, and there went the last part of that original plan. So now it's Friday morning, and I feel like I just pulled an all-nighter (which I guess I sort of did). I've got that weird feeling of being really wiped out, but not tired, and pretty hungry, but not really because of all the snacking. And I'm wearing the clothes I wore all day yesterday, and I've been eating the delicious cookies my mom sent me, and my hair looks like it got caught in a ceiling fan that needed to be dusted. But the off-ness that my body is feeling is overshadowed by the part where I remember that I am done with schoolwork until the very end of August. And in between now and the time I leave Omaha in just over a week, there are fun times to be had at a cabin in Okoboji, good community reflection, Jen's 21st birthday, time spent with my best friend before we live in separate states for the summer (AAAAAAAH!), cooking and cleaning to do before we host the graduation party of the decade, and maybe even some packing before my mom comes next Sunday. A week with nothing to do? We sure ditched that idea. :)
It was really good for me to hangout with Vicky and Jess. Being that I considered myself their third roommate for the year, it seemed fitting that I helped them move in back in August, and move out today and yesterday. It gives me some closure, I think. Something to focus on so that I'm not thinking about my own moving. I think I have a harder time with transitions than I would like to think I have. Sure, I can be flexible, if I haven't fallen in love with the way things used to be. I started crying the night before last while I did the dishes, and then again at breakfast yesterday, just thinking about how much it is going to suck to know how much I will be missing people and whatnot. Oh, and I might be tearing up as I type this. Sometimes, that's what I do like about finals week, is that I can just leave, break it off fast. Now I have an entire week of classes being done and goodbyes that need to be said. Dragging this out. But I'll be okay. I'll bawl at community reflection on Wednesday, and then....
I really am doing fine, though. I promise. I'm going to hang out with Katie tonight, which will be fun. And then I will sleep, which I haven't done enough of in recent days. Good.
