The time has come.

Well, the past few days have been a flurry of emotions. Should I be sad? Should I be happy? Should I be excited that I can finally go to a Kelly Clarkson concert? Should I be packing (for the record, I am)? Why do you let yourself get so close to people, if you know that eventually you will say goodbye (or see you later)? On the one hand, I am sad about losing my two favorite people in the whole world; On the other, I am happy to be finally going to NU, especially after all I've heard about on Facebook's Jones's Group. I am nervous about starting a new life, but I am also anxious to meet my roommate face to face and stare across the lake on an early morning, especially in the winter. In the end, I must stay positive. I am comforted by the fact that I will see these people in a few months; and hopefully on another trip in two summers. And, I know that we will stay in touch; there's too much at stake not to stay in touch. So in the end, I prepare for tomorrow; In the end, I promise not to be too sad; but above all, I promise to always be thankful for what you have given me. Thanks.
