December 15, 2004 - 6:59 p.m. Wow. I'm all done for this semester. Stick a fork in me. It's a relief to know that I can do nothing more and that I need not feel guilty for doing nothing but taking a big nap this afternoon. I'm a little excited and a little nervous about going home for three whole weeks. I'm hopeful that this time I will find it easier than the last to adjust to being with my family all the time. I'm hesitant to leave my friends here after all the time we've spent together this semester. I've only known them for four months (I will have been here four months tomorrow.) but already I know these are people that I will know for the rest of my life. Yet, I feel overly dramatic for saying so. So tonight is one last night of watching movies with the ever widening circle of friends. Tomorrow is a packing day. And Friday night I'll be home. Wow. ...before & after...
