The End of Summer

Today marks the end of my summer, my next-to-last one before joining the adult world. As my Mom said, "I just get used to [her] being home when it's time to leave again." I didn't want to leave today, but I had to collect myself and just get moving. There was neither time nor energy for long extended goodbyes for my parents or I. We were all going in our separate directions--even though my Dad and I drove to the airport together--we just had to be quick and then move on.

I will be going home again Friday afternoon/evening, but it won't be the same. My parents will be vacationing in Houston and I will be home alone. Well, really I will just be sleeping at home, while spending my time at my Grandparents'. I do wish Mom and Dad would be home though. Mom may get to come visit next week though, so I'll just hope that will happen and continue to mark off days on my mental calendar.

This 5-week term, I won't be going home much or doing much of anything to be honest. I have three classes at 8AM, 11:30AM, and 3PM. There's really not enough time to go home in between, so I will have quite long days in the Business Building. Poor Emma will spend a lot of time alone too. I will just have to get my work done during my long breaks and make sure to play with her as much as possible at night and on the weekend.

The second 5-week term, which starts in July, should be much easier. I will only have one class that meets only MTWR, or four days a week! Fridays off, hooray!! I hope to go home for several weekends during July.

I've got some unpacking to do before repacking tomorrow night. I also need to get a good night's sleep since tomorrow's going to be a doozy! I might even have an extra class meeting from 5-6:30 tomorrow night. It's supposed to meet each Thursday, but I don't know about the first day yet!
