Tomorrow

I'm home!

After suffering continual and underlying homesickness for the past week, I am finally home.

My last few days at school were wonderful. Well, the not-so-wonderful part was saying goodbye to Karen, my wonderful roommate, who I already miss like crazy, and lots of other friends. The wonderful part was hanging out with my RA friends, some of my very favorite people! On Thursday night, we had an RA banquet, and I sat with Julie, Mary Grace, Robert, Cole, SJ, Stephen, and James (I think that was everyone...). Afterwards, a bunch of us decided to swing dance in Harper Hall, the usual locale. It was really fun, and probably my last time to swing dance for a while. Then we all headed to Wendy's for frosties and fries. One car was packed full of people, and they decided that since so many people needed to pay and since it was Cinco de Mayo, they would go through the drive through five times. It was literally hilarious. The lady at the window was cracking up apparently, and on their last go-round, when they started ordering, she said, "Sorry, we are out of food." Then when they pulled up to get their food, David ran past the window and snatched the food out of the lady's hands. The people in the car burst out laughing and assured the aldy that they knew him. It was so funny. We all just laughed and ate and joked. It was great. Then Katie came and spent the night in my room! Slumber party! :) Just a taste of next year.

Friday we had to do some closing stuff, but I was with Luis, so that was great, and it was over pretty quickly. Owen, our Delta Dad, took Katie, Julie, Mary Grace, and I out to lunch, which was so fun! I love Owen. Then Katie and I hung out for a little while, went for a walk, and then went to the PAC. While we were there, we ran into Cole, Lex, and Robert. We played Knock Out (I think that's the name, its the game where you try to make the basket before the person in front of you makes it so that they are out of the game. The last one left with the basket ball wins). It was Cole's birthday that day, so we decided to go out to dinner. We called some friends and left at seven for Flat Rock. That meal was so fun. I was sitting next to SJ and accross from Robert, my cousin. Two of my favorite people. We laughed so much. And we happened to be sitting next two two birthday tables, so every time the wait staff brought out the cake, we sang to the guests! The manager said she wanted us to come every time there was a birthday! It was really funny, because we ended up singing Happy Birthday three times, since it was Cole's birthday too. Anyway, after dinner, we hung out for a little while, and then Katie came over and we had another slumber party. Haha. So fun.

Saturday was pretty quiet. I watched the Sound of Music, my all-time favorite movie, with my friend Emily. Then I just relaxed and read for the rest of the day. It was really needed and really restful.

On Sunday, we had more closing! Yay! It was actually really fun. We finished going through rooms pretty quickly. Then my job was to clean the office, which was perfect. I really enjoyed it (yes, Mama, I am your daughter). Other RAs were typing up RICs, so I grabbed my computer and started helping. We ordered in Greek food for dinner - so delicious! We finished up at about 8:30. I checked my phone and had lots of missed calls and text messages. My brother was on his way to pick me up! I hurried to go finish packing. Katie came by for a bit. Then Roecker got there and started loading the car (I had a lot of stuff). My friend Stephen came and helped, which was really nice. And then Julie, Mary Grace, and Robbie came and helped too.  I really appreciated their help. Finally, we were set to go.

Roecker and I hit the road. He drove for a long way. I dozed off for a while, and then when I woke up, we were in Atlanta. Roeck asked me to drive for a bit (understandably - he had already driven the whole way to pick me up and then half of the way back!). I was rejuvenated by my nap, so we stopped and switched places, and I got us the rest of the way home. I may or may not have been speeding. Which is bad, but considering that I haven't been home since Christmas break, I couldn't really help myself.  We finally got in around 2 (3 to my body). We went straight to our rooms and fell asleep. This morning, Mama came in to say goodbye before she left for work, and then Daddy came to say goodbye before he left for MS. I wish I'd been more awake and could have actually talked to him, because I haven't seen him since January 8, but well, I was still half asleep.

Now I've started unpacking, but my brother took the car that has a lot of my stuff in it. So I'm washing clothes, and I decided that blogging would be a good way to pass the time while I wait to move the clothes into the dryer!

I have lots to write about, such as Hungary and home and the fall and that sort of thing, so I'll write again soon!
