This weekend most of my life for the last four years was packed up. I’ve lived in the same house for four years and now it’s time to move on. I’ve lived here longer than any other place besides our home in Florence. Well…to be honest, I’ve only lived in two other places…one semester each in two different dorm rooms.
I’ve got five days left here before I go home for a short break. After spending a little time at home and celebrating my birthday, we’ll come back here one more time as a family and I will graduate and finally receive my Master’s Degree. The very next morning, the next adventure starts as we will drive up to Nashville and move me into my new home for the next year. It’s almost a waste to fully unpack since I’ll be moving into my own home next year. Hopefully the next move will only be a few miles instead of across state lines!
I’m excited about Nashville and work, but I’m also getting a little nervous. I also am starting to realize that things will never be the same again. I think it’s just part of life, but when I finished high school, I was so ready to move on. Once I got here, I finally realized just how good I had it living at home in Florence. I’m afraid the same thing will happen when I leave Auburn. I think what I will miss the most is not having extended Christmas holidays anymore. I haven’t had a summer break in three years and I worked the two summers before that, so I don’t think I will miss the summer “breaks” so much. I think it’s going to be a rude awakening that I might just take Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off. I think it’s going to much harder to get into the Christmas Spirit if I’m working up until the holiday.
Well, I have a project, a research case and two finals between me and Graduation. I think I can do it! :)
