And Another Semester Ends.

Dust is everywhere. It is accumulated on the floor in the corners in ugly gray blobs. It is floating in the air and invading my poor nostrils as I type this. The reason behind my new dust-covered world-- it is move out time again.
What?!
It seems like this semester flew by in some insanely paced haze; certain memories stick out in my mind like snapshots and little movies, but the rest seemed to have vanished. Now our carpet is gone (hence the dust blobs), huge putrid-colored dumpsters are looming in the parking lots, and the end-of-the-semester parties have begun. Normally I am beyond excited to be going home. This year, though, I feel so much differently. Tons of my friends are graduating and/or going back to their home countries. Almost all of my friends in the English Department are graduating, and that is just not cool. I've had classes/worked with them since I was a sophomore. :(
But it is ok, because the summer is going to be great. Strange, but great. Hopefully I'll be heading to MS as much as posssible. Maybe there are some neat adventures to be had in Birmingham too. Who knows?
So one more full day, and I bid MC farewell for 3 months for what promises to be a summer full of new experiences and new people, a long trip to Florida for almost all the month of May, and GOOD MOM-FOOD. (Thank GOD I can finally bid adieu to the sickening creations of the Caf.)
One thing is for sure-- I am going to sleep, sleep, sleep. I'll probably sleep all day the first day home. And I'm not going to change out of my pajamas either, or take a shower--so there.
For now, I must bite the bullet (any my gummy bears) and begin to study for my last Final Exam.
