Two Down…

…Too many to go.  Boxes, that is.  In five days, I will be moving back home, so the dreaded packing has begun.  Packing is possibly my least favorite thing to do (followed closely by unpacking).  I wish I could just wake up in my room at home with all my stuff instead of having to deal with all this packing and shipping business.

The fact that I’m leaving is slowly becoming more real to me.  Today, I emailed a lot of official-type people saying that I was leaving.  I even called my church here to let them know.  I am not a college student anymore.  I mean, I haven’t been one all summer.  But I was still in Boston, still living in my dorm, still working at school, still seeing some of my favorite people in the world every day.  (Of course, when I get home, I’ll still see some of my favorite people every day.  They will just be a different set.  I just wish that I could find all of my favorite people in one place.)   I could almost pretend that I was still a student.  When I get home, I will have to get a real job.  One that doesn’t end after three months.  I’ll have to worry about things like insurance and rent and fixing the air conditioner (when I get around to finding my own place).

I am excited to be moving back, though.  After seven years of living in a dorm (no, it didn’t take me that long to get through college…I went to boarding school), I’m ready to be living in my own space.  With more than one room.  And a kitchen.  I have all these plans for things I’d like to do when I get home.  I just hope that I actually do some of them.  I’m pretty good at making plans for myself, but I’m not so good at following them through.
