So, it's getting really close to the end...like...um...5 days left here? We leave next Monday morning, so everything has now become the "last time" we do that. Like the last time we get frozen yogurt, our last road trip together, etc. And this weekend will be our last weekend here :(
I keep finding myself on the verge of tears over little things, but really I'm just sad that I'm leaving this city I've grown to love and my friends and housemates.
We just got back from a weekend retreat in southern California, our last retreat with all the southwestern JVs, called "Dis-Orientation." we had lots of time to reflect, and I have to say I've been feeling pretty disoriented. Sometimes we pretend we'll be here for another 6 months because it's easier than saying, "well I won't be here next week."
I really do hate goodbyes.
When we got back yesterday we had dinner with our friends at Lindy's, an awesome burger place (good veg burgers too!) on 4th ave. It felt so great to see them, but also sad that it's one of our last times seeing them...
I even almost started crying last night when Erin was just hanging out by our door saying goodnight. I was thinking, well pretty soon I'm not going to see Erin in person anymore cuz Baltimore is so far from Spokane!
It's so hard to say goodbye to the amazing experience this year has been. What's getting me through this week is thinking about how great next year will be as well. I'm doing another year of JVC and I'm going to keep in contact with my friends, so it won't be so bad.
Still, I can't help but tear up thinking about leaving...:(
