What did I tell you about TICKLING?
May. 6th, 2007 02:54 amThis is my last day as a college sophomore! I am not sure how I feel about that. It's a very odd situation - while I'm leaving F&M for my whole junior year to study in Dublin, I'm not saying goodbye to the place yet because I'm doing research here this summer. However, there are people that I may or may not see before I leave for Dublin, and there are some (all juniors and seniors) that will just be GONE when I return to F&M. It's... surreal. At the same time, I really feel like I've only made extremely close bonds with two people here, Michelle and Rob, and at least in Michelle's case we have plans for her to come to Dublin after New Zealand for her birthday, etc, and I don't know. It's so odd to contemplate my life as a student without them.
Michelle left this morning after my stat exam. It would have been a dreadfully emotional goodbye (she leaves for New Zealand in a MONTH!) but she lives only about 2 hours from me, and I have a car now!, so I'm going to descend on her house Thursday so we can watch the first part of the SPN finale, marathon some SGA, hopefully go see Nathan's movie Waitress in theaters, and in general just HANG OUT as we have been unable to for MONTHS. Stupid school. Depriving me of my Michelle *mutters deprecations*
Ahem.
Then I spent the whole day packing. And packing and packing. It's amazing how much STUFF fits in half of one of these tiny rooms. So many bags and boxes and books, oh my! :) I had half of a mind to leave this afternoon (had to leave by 2ish in order to get home before dark, because my HEADLIGHTS are still dead) but uhm. I didn't start moving stuff into my car until 8ish. Yeah. Nice try Anne :P
Then this evening I did fun things! There was a carnival set up in the park attached to our campus, so Rob, Thomas, Kelly and I went. Rob and I rode the Scrambler, heee! It had been YEARS since I'd been on one, and that's my favorite carnival ride EVER. I felt 12 years old again. It was wonderful. Then Rob and Thomas both had to flex their testosterone and play the machine gun game, which they were both actually pretty damn good at! This was all followed by the artery-clogging goodness of funnel cake and FRIED OREOS. The latter was surprisingly awesome. I did feel rather ill later though :P Then the four of us went bowling with two of Kelly's brothers and one of their friends. (Side note: The friend was disturbing to me in that he reminded me STRONGLY of my brother, yet I found him very attractive. Eep! He was a very good bowler, though. Competence kink anyone?) That was a good time. I sucked in the first game, but I ended up trouncing my friends in the second game.... with a 125. Yeah we all kind of sucked :D
Then I came back home and took down my gorgeous Wall of Fandom, which filled an entire wall of my dorm room with magazine pages and posters and suchlike. I am so sad I had to dismantle it. The wall looks very sad and blank now :( But I am looking forward to decorating the FOUR WALLS in my OWN BEDROOM in my apartment this summer :D That will be fun fun fun. Amusing fact: the deconstruction of the Wall of Fandom resulted in a ball of blue adhesive putty the size of a GOLF BALL. That's a lot of putty! Teehee.
Well that's a record of my last day as a sophomore. I just wanted it for posterity and whatnot.
