I wasn't sure if it would happen but it is...

I'm going to graduate publicly in 10 days and I feel... emotional I guess. Some of it is fondness for memories and the people I shared them with, some of it is regret for the friendships I neglected and the things I never did, and then there's the satisfaction of being finished. I don't know.

I guess this was brought about because I looked at this year's yearbook as well as something a friend of mine, actually my roommate for about 2.4 yrs of college, wrote about a bunch of us....

"Despite the late nights over papers and early classes, college has been amazing and I can't believe that I'm old enough to be saying goodbye, but I am going to miss it. The beach the sun, the frozen yogurt. Most of all I am going to miss my friends.... Jessica’s newfound ability to procrastinate, eating & cooking with Hannah and Bo, Melanie’s endless energy and plans of traveling the world, Chelsey’s capability to be up for everything at any time from oreo’s to quesadillas, Jannette’s beaming positive attitude and accent :), Jenny’s laugh and easy ability to be frightened ( Her scream!), Missy’s blunt honesty ( It’s a good thing) and shoe fetish, Lucy’s adventures and for always being able to fit back in, and Brittney’s quotes and gift for making a party out of anything... Maybe it was watching First Wives Club last night, maybe its the fact that I should be writing a paper right now...but I just want to wish them all blessings and love for the years to come. I know we probably wont be the best at keeping in touch, but a girl can hope. We really did make the best of the last four years, despite the ups and the downs....we have the pictures to prove it!!! I love you all and am looking forward to watching us all grow up."

She's moving back to Oregon forever after graduation. It makes me sad.
