A Crack In Time

The moment I have been waiting for is down to days. DAYS. I am leaving the United States in a matter of days. I just received vital emails to where I am supposed to go and my Dad keeps asking me about if there is anymore information or why I haven't packed yet. My mom is happy I am going to stay in another country, but is virtually a nervous wreck. But, I am calm, knowing I only have to take care of the house a little bit longer and have my dog annoy me a little bit more. I love my dog, I really do, but just when you think she is annoying you to go outside and do her business, all she wants is a dog treat. After the dog treat, she leaves me alone and takes a nap, along with the cat. I love my pets.

Tomorrow, I am leaving for Boone, NC so I can see my college friends one more time. Will I see everybody? No, I only have so much time and I cannot guarantee I will see all of my friends. It is better than nothing and I am thankful I have such great friends. I hope they read this blog because Facebook and my cell phone are off limits while I am away. I want to distance myself from things I know others are too attached to. I received thirty-seven notifications today on Facebook and I dare not fathom what my email Inbox looks like.

This entry is about the friends you have and how much they should mean to you. I keep thinking about my brothers (I'm in TKE, a fraternity, FYI) and their silly antics. I will miss all of them, even the ones I know have graduated. I will definitely miss those times in the coffee-shop with my friends, dicussing politics or class work. I used to work in an office at the school and I kinda of miss my desk and the people who worked around me. Appreciate your friends, for all of their flaws and strengths, because it may be awhile before you have a conversation with them. Tell the people you really know how much they mean to you because every moment counts.

Where I am going, I have to worry, not only about homework, new friends, and getting somewhere cheaply, but I have to worry about swine flu, typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, the North Koreans testing their weapons near the shore, and an occasional Godzilla visit on a daily basis. Until next time, true believers.
