La última noche

Well, I've made it. This is my last night here on NC State campus in my lovely-no-more-but-I-love-it-anyway room. Tomorrow, I will be heading home for the summer after I take my organic chemistry final tomorrow. I woke abruptly out of a heavy sleep at 11:30 this morning and I couldn't go back to sleep because fears and doubts about organic chem kept invading my mind, refusing to allow me anymore sleep. I've been studying ever since, and I am finished. I have called it quits. I have taken nine practice exams and been through my notes on thirty-eight lectures. I'm ready to call it quits. Tomorrow, after my exam, I'll take apart my computer and pack it up and then pack my bedding and the few bits of neccesities that I left unpacked, and then I'll wait patiently for my Dad to come at 3pm. I'm so sad to be leaving! I almost don't want to go home. I'm going to miss so much - my roommate, my room, my campus cinema, my internet - the list goes on. I will especially miss my T-1 internet connection because I am trading it for dial up. Maybe I will finally convice my parents to get DSL or some other form of high speed internet this summer, or I will go crazy! But that's enough for tonight. I'll post one more time before I leave tomorrow, and then I will be posting very rarely from home. I can't believe I've had this blog for one whole semester already- it feels like a part of me, and I can't imagine what I'd do without it. It is such a great tool for focusing my thoughts and letting loose.

One last note before I sign off for the night: My brother's getting married!!!! I found out last weekend and I've been excited ever since! I'm so glad that he and Kim are finally tying the knot - my family and I have been hoping for a while now that they would. It was funny when I found out because I called home to talk for a bit last weekend and my Dad answered the phone and told me to call back as he was on the phone with Darren. So, I called back an hour later and Dad was still on the phone with Darren. When I talked to Dad, nothing seemed suspicious, but then Darren called me later that night, and I was psyched because I get maybe one call every two weeks on my cell phone. I told him that I had heard he had talked to Dad earlier that day, and then Darren got real quiet, and then he asked, "Did he tell you?" It didn't even register to me to ask, "Tell me what?" I just said "no" and then Darren came right out with it. I think I squealed with glee the second it hit me. I'm getting a great new Sister-in-law - great doesn't even begin to describe Kim, and I can't wait to see them get married. I've decided that I'm cutting class no matter what to be at their wedding. I can't wait! Congratulations Darren and Kim! And now, Goodnight!
