Maybe I was just so eager to rush away that the whole notion of bidding farewell just . . . got lost in the wind. I bid adieu to my dear 2100 ladies yesterday, and was frankly rather unaffected. They looked well and settled, and dear Hilary shipped off to Jerusalem at 4am. I'm so excited for her, but we discussed that we're rather glad to get away. My brother chastised me for my smug attitude on campus today, but I think the timing worked out well. The only way I was able to get through the maddening crowd (literally and figuratively) was holding on to the light at the end of the tunnel.
. . . I guess I'm looking forward to setting my feet on the ground (literally and figuratively -again) somewhere void of um, personal expectations - from other people of course - I've got plenty of expectations for myself, but I won't have to live up to anyone else's. This summer has been a good start to all that, but I'm not landing some place where I'll get stuck in - just, past relationships/mistakes/etc.
I leave for the airport in half hour. Sorry for the play by play, but I'm packed and very little else to do!
