Soooooo Mackey and I planned a lovely lunch date for today. We were going to go up to table rock and have a picnic and look at the fall colors and frankly, it was going to be lovely. BUT I got ditched. So I went to the Latte Lounge all by myself like a big girl and found Sierra there. We sat and chatted and it was nice. She asked me how the semester was going and I told her it was weird because I'm getting ready to graduate and everything. She asked me if I was ready for all that and I said no. But then I thought about it and I'm thinking maybe I am. I'm not ready to leave my friends, but I'll never be ready to leave my friends. I've done a lot of growing and learning in this little town and I think I've just about grown out of it. I think that once you've gotten what you needed from a place, its time to go. And I have gotten so much from Oneonta. This moment of clarity will by no means imply that I won't be freaking out like crazy as the semester goes on but its nice to appreciate the moments when I really feel like I'm doing the right thing.
Sierra also told me about a book called BitchFest which is just a collection of feminist articles from Bitch magazine. I'm ordering it and I'll give it a read.
You oh wonderful you
