I'm leaving Howell in a few minutes to head back to Kalamazoo, for the last time. This will be the last time I make the trek from my parents' house to my apartment there - to the complex I've lived in for almost six years. Next Saturday the truck will come and my stuff will go and return back here, to the place where I started from.
It's a little sad, but I mostly try not to think about it. It hurts a little to breathe so I try to do other things (though - let me tell you - when your face is turning blue, that can be difficult).
It'll be a busy week. I have to write a new final exam project for my public speaking class. I have to pack. I have to write. I have dinners with friends, a wedding reception, a last day at church, a goin-away party, a lot of see-you-laters (I'm not a fan of goodbyes). And so I go - and so it begins.
Keep looking forward kiddo - driving by looking in the rear view mirror has never worked very well for many people. It's a big new adventure to be had. I know you're going to grow in ways you've never thought possible.
ReplyDeleteI am so excited as you start this new adventure....you are brave! jamee
ReplyDeleteI know it's sad to go, but think of the excitement of learning the new place! And what a world we live in today that you're only a few strikes of the keyboard away! Love you!
ReplyDeleteSarah-what an amazing opportunity you have. I know that the breathing part is hard, that looking at somethings and people for the last time is hard, but you are one of the strongest individuals I know. You are great, you are going to even greater in Yuma. What a lucky bunch of kids-and they don't even know it yet.
