Good-byes

"Parting is such sweet sorrow" ~Shakespeare

It is Finals week, the last week of the semester, and I have been packing up and preparing to move out in a few days. I've just realized that I won't be back here to Point Loma for a very long time. I guess I have been looking forward to going to Spain for so long that I was only ever excited about it. I still am very excited to be going, but until now I had not thought about how hard it would be to say good-bye.

During this week I have been saying good-bye to a lot of people. Quite a few of my friends are graduating this year, and I have no idea where they will be and what they will be doing when I come back from Spain. I don't know when I will see some of them again. Those who are not graduating will be here when I return in the Fall, but that is still a long time to be away.

These good-byes make everything feel so final, so official. I really don't like saying good-bye. But I hate NOT saying good-bye even more, so here I am bidding my friends farewell as we all frantically study for our final exams and try to get those last papers turned in.
