I can't complain...

...I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm busy, with barely enough time to get it all done. So many things have worked out exactly how they were meant to. I procrastinated about renting the Uhaul trailer for this Wednesday only to find out a few days ago that I actually can't move until Thursday (due to where my last name falls in the alphabet). Last week I complained to Mike about our lack of even one day together in which we had nothing else to do but spend time with one another before I left--now we have that entire Wednesday to ourselves. My road test (on Tuesday) is also no longer the day before I leave. I'm calmer about moving in general. The change will be hard but it should be. I love the people I'm leaving behind, and if it weren't difficult to say goodbye than what the hell kind of person would I be anyway?

A big part of me becomes increasingly excited to go with each passing day. I'm going on to graduate school to begin the final stretch of my academic career, and I know I'm smart enough, I know I'll love it, and I know it'll go by in the blink of an eye. I'll meet new people, go to new places, and grow. It's a new adventure.

Kate and Maureen moved into an apartment three buildings down from Mike and myself (!!!). I love having them so close but I'm sad I'll only get to enjoy it for a few more days. They made us some yummy dinner tonight and it was a mere three-minute walk back to my place afterwards. :D Today I saw Shruti for the last time before I leave. I had a great time with her--we went out to eat just the two of us and then hit up the mall for some shopping--but it was difficult to give her a hug goodbye not knowing when I'll see her again.

All my things are in boxes. My pictures are packed away. Now it's time to live it up. :D
