I had my last exam Wednesday night. It was KILLER! I'm still feeling the relief of being done with it. Its like when you have to poo really bad and you finally do it and it just feels so good.... and every now and then you realize all over how relieved you feel. I went to the bars for Cait's birthday Wednesday night and ended up crying in the middle of the Oak. I was just so sad about being done and having to leave. After that, I went to my apartment and Rachel came to stay the night. We played an extremely fun game of photobooth for probably over an hour.... its fine. Mackey showed up halfway through too!!!



After that, Rachel made sure to set an alarm for early. In my drunkish state, it didn't occur to me to wonder why. Turns out, she was making sure to have time to help me pack up before she had to head back to the GF. Friends that great do not come around often. So after spending the next morning packing up a good portion of my possessions, we went and had a delicious breakfast at the Bagel Co. Rachel insisted that I will make friends in Syracuse. I insisted that I have already made friends with the coolest people that exist so no one in Syracuse can possibly measure up. Only time will tell, I suppose. After breakfast, Rach left. I didn't cry until she waked out the door because I told her I could get through it with no tears... hahaha.

After Rach left, I had to go meet with my research group to SPSS the results of our study with Dr. Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert happens to be the most long-winded man I have ever met. Soooo three hours later, when I finally got out of that meeting, it was 5:00. I made the rash decision to avoid Friday's storm and drive to Rochester Thursday night. I'm very glad I made that decision because I HATE driving in the snow. But unfortunately, I only got to say goodbye to a handful of people and had the most haphazard packing job ever. NO GOOD. Approximately ten minutes after I drove away, Edwin brought a goodbye party to my house. He called me and I almost crashed my car because I burst into tears about being on my way out of Oneonta AND having missed so many loved ones. (To be honest, I have yet to find out exactly who was there.)

ANYWAYYYY I made it to Alysas house and spent about another hour in her bed crying before falling asleep. No big deal. Being snowed in for a whole weekend has sent me right back to the wonderful land of denial....

Alysa and I spent the weekend doing a lot of nothing. It was fabulous. We went to see Milk on Saturday. I highly recommend it to anyone. Not only was the story fantastic but the acting was impeccable. Sean Penn is beyond fabulous and Emile Hirsch is the cutest little gay man ever!!

Instead of moving to my new apartment Sunday and getting settled in there overnight, the weather forced me to wait until today. I had my advisement meeting at 2:30. I got most of the way to Syracuse before the snow began to fall and everyone and there mother was off the road. Luckily, I drive more slowly than your grandmother in the snow, so I made it safe and sound and extremely tense. I met with my advisor who is extremely nice and then I went to my apartment. My mom, sister and grandpa met me there to help me move my things, thank goodness. It took about half an hour and then we were out of there, trying to get back to Rome before the storm got any worse. Oy vey! So basically, all my things got dropped in the place and we left. Hopefully it wont be too long before I get time to go make the place my own.... We will see.

Moral of the story is, I miss Oneonta....
