WAG - Last Sullivan Post
So much to write, but little of it will be recorded tonight.
In about 12 hours, I should be halfway to Columbia for another couple of semesters at the University of Missouri - Columbia.
Currently, I'm feeling the combined effects of excitement and depression that comes with major scenery changes.
I won't go into pros and cons; things I wanted to get done or accomplishments achieved; and other summer minutiae.
I still have some packing to do. For example, the computer I'm typing away at, but it's typically the last to go since it provides the important access to music, the internet, and Solitaire. I also have some clothes in the drier, but otherwise everything is mostly piled in my room.
Tomorrow will be the first time we have to take a trailer to get to college. It was a tight squeeze last year, but since I picked up some extra possessions (like a medium sized bookcase. A real one. Not some quasi-shelf thrown together out of cinder blocks and boards [although it would be easier to transport]) and extra appliances (since I am no longer splitting them with a roommate).
I would write more, but it'd mostly be maudlin stuff about shifting gears and changing locals. This type of mini funk often accompanies the ending of a chapter. After all, the ride home from a big trip is often less exciting than the beginning legs.
It's normal, natural, and often replaced with other emotions once the next chapter begins.
I'm just waiting on that pesky transition period as the page flips over.
And the dryer.
Both will come, both will come.
Have a good weekend everyone.
