Well, we just carried a bunch of my stuff down to the car. Dad was like, "You might have to take two trips to get all your stuff home!" I was like, "Dad. I have a MINIVAN. And we brought all the stuff up to school in it, so I don't know why it wouldn't all fit." And he's like, "Yes, but you've brought more up since!" And I was like, "But I also took some home. Don't worry about it." And it definitely looks like it's all going to fit. The only big thing I have to put in there yet is my massive suitcase and my computer. And it should all fit. I just hope that it doesn't get too hot sitting in the car all day. It shouldn't; it's in the back with the tinted glass. But still.

So yeah, we're all crazy here, especially Megs and Dana and I, and now I'm sitting at the computer, Dana is studying psych, and Megs is trying to take the 3M tabs off the backs of her posters. 3M tabs are the work of the devil. Does it actually surprise anyone that the college told us to use them instead of tape? Anyone? Didn't think so.

Had my last final this morning at 7:30; was done before 8. I'm finished with work for the summer! Boy, that feels weird. Okay, plans for the summer: Clean my room (it's gotten so bad, even I can't walk across it! I hope to really get my nose to the grindstone and get this done in the first week or two. But I always say that, and it never happens). Catch up on pleasure reading! (This won't be hard. That's practically all I do in the summer anyway--read and hang out on the computer. Kind of what I did in my free time all this school year, minus the reading... lol) Do plenty of fanfiction writing! (I hope I keep up with this. Every summer I say I'm going to write a lot, and then it never happens. I want to alternate, one chapter of another piece, one chapter of my lotr stuff, until it's all done! I should also go back and work some more on my old original fiction. It's all just gathering dust in my computer folders.) So yeah, I hope these aren't just good intentions.

So I got an A on my Dracula paper. When we were packing my car, Shillock (goth lit prof) pulled up, and was like, Hey, can I talk to you? And I was like, yeah give me a second, and I hit Megs with the poster again (she started it!) and Shillock was like, Don't beat up Megan! And I was like, But she beats me up all the time! So yeah, all he wanted to say was to make sure that I understood his comments and wasn't offended, which I wasn't at all. Shillock rocks.

Liz just came in and is watching me type. And then she picked up a piece of food Megs's got in a box, and was like, I think you guys grew penicilin...

I'm gonna have so much fun caricaturing these guys in my fanfic! I am so gonna miss them. It won't be cool to not be able to just run down the hall and talk with them and get into synonym battles with Dana and smack people around and run to meals with them. Won't be cool at all. And watch Lost with them! (Which is on tonight, by the way. Dana is going home, but she says she'll watch it at home and have the IM on at the same time, so we can discuss it during commercials.) And hear Liz laugh at silly things (like just now, the fact that Megs had a pen that said "Gaylord Hotel". These people are nuts. I <3 them! Gonna miss them! *tear*

I am looking forward to having all my stuff in one place, though, and Central Air (Thank the Lord for Central Air! Ahhhhhhh...) cause it's getting freaking hot here with just open windows and some fans. And I'll be able to pet my cat all the time, and take walks out in my fields (at least until it gets too deep into the summer). But I'll miss my room having little enough in it that I can actually keep it clean, and exploring on the "interpretive trail" up here on campus. I guess there are upsides and downsides of every stage of life. When I'm living here, I like it, but I miss my fields and my cat and all that jazz. Ah, well. Too much analysis. I'll survive.

Liz and Megs and I went to Caledonia on Monday. We were gonna walk for a bit, but then we turned back because it was too hot and tiring. I feel old. That kind of stuff never used to bug me. *sigh*. But anyway, we went and sat at the creek (I used my new wading shoes! They're nice. Speaking of which, I wonder where they're at?...) Then we sat at a picnic table, and Liz sat and studied, and I sat and wrote, and Megs laid down on the next table and slept. It was really idyllic. The sun was coming down around us, and the high trees and their shade, and shafts of spring light, the redbuds in bloom, little things floating in the light, the sound of the creek flowing behind us... I wish there were more moments like that in our lives.

I can't believe it's only 10:30AM. I guess that's what I get for getting up at 6:45 for a final...

I've been doin' a whole lot of nuthin the past couple of days--looking at Ultimate Lord of the Rings Gallery. Barely working on fanfiction, not watching the movies we planned to watch, not doing much of anything. I hope I can get out of this rut this summer and do what I want to do!

Most of my friends are coming back to town by the 21st. We need to get together and have a homecoming bash. Plus, I've got a couple of things I'm going to, like Evening with the Arts at my high school, and the Sharps' garden party. Friday is pizza and hanging out after dance class! I love my dance class. Those people rock. Laurel is so wonderful. What a Godly woman! She's one of those people I rate everyone else off of, like Mrs. Hess.

Dana and Megs are off to sell Dana's books and to take the psych final, so I'm gonna have the place to myself. Even Liz is going off for a final. So they should all be back for lunch, and then I'm probably gonna help Dana with her paper, which is due TODAY! and she hasn't worked much on it yet. Bad Dana. :) This afternoon we'll probably watch a movie and help Megs pack some more, then Lost tonight at 8. Then Megs and Liz have Latin tomorrow morning, after which we get room inspection and then move on out and leave! Craziness. Have you ever noticed how the things you can't wait for seem to drag forever and a day, and then all of a sudden the time is going by too fast and you realize you don't want it all to end? Yeah. I'm getting very melodramatic about this, aren't I? :) I'll stop now.

Wow, I'm hungry. I guess it's because I ate breakfast at like, 7 this morning, and it was only a Krave bar (which are excellent, btw). Um, let's see. What else? Oh, I got four poems in Bottom Shelf Review, the literary magazine for our college! BSR. You have to click on the 2005 link. But it may take a long time to load. Here are my poems that got in.

I gave in. I'm eating Megan's munchies. :) So good! I will miss these this summer--hee hee! That's right Megs, I don't care about you, I just love you for your snack food! (J/K!) She keeps me well supplied. I am currently cleaning out my college email inbox.

Things this summer that I'm looking forward to: Movie nights with Dee, movie nights with Dilles, the ballet (I need to get to work on my costume!), ballet classes, writing, reading, having a clean room, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince coming out July 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Creation at Megs' place (AC! Real showers! Flush toilets! Real beds! It'll be heaven!!!), going to Megs' place and learning to ride!, being on staff at camp. My summer's gonna be full!

So I would do a movie night with Dee this weekend, but Saturday is the prom, so her day will be full. Oh well. I hope all my old high school classmates can get together for a real shindig at the park once we're all home! It'll be like old times. Well, not quite. But close. :)

I think I've said enough. I'm gonna start repeating myself pretty soon! Have a good end of the college year, everybody! See ya soon!
