tears are coming

So, now the count is down to 32 days. Can you believe it? That is barely over a month until I move to the Big Apple once again. Who knew time would go by so fast?? And it's starting to hit me like a ton of bricks...not the fact that I have less than one month until I take my last academic final for the rest of my entire life. That hasn't really set in yet. But the fact that I'm going to be leaving one of my favorite places in all the world in less than a month...that's starting to settle. (In fact, I'm getting that burning feeling in my eyes and nose right now as I type this.) To make all of this even worse, I've been extremely emotional in the last week, for me anyway, so not only have I been thinking about this, I've been CRYING about it too.

Today I was looking at something posted on the Auburn website about the graduation ceremony and I started to tear up. Then later in the day I was reading a poem about "moving on in your life" and I started to cry again. Then when I was making my dinner tonight, I realized that there are only two more Saturdays that I'll be in Auburn living here (excluding exam week...but nothing counts during exam week). Ever again.

Anyway, so I decided to take Pam's advice and start documenting on my blog, not only just the number of days that are left until my return to the city (since originally my blog was solely dedicated to the number of days left until I moved back), but the things that I'm going to miss so much when I don't live in Auburn anymore.

Here's a start :



Ok, so I actually killed several birds with one stone in this pic, because it's loaded with things I'm gonna miss. The first and most obvious...CHICK FIL A! I know that there is a Chick Fil A in the NYU food court on campus in NYC, but it still won't be the same. It won't be as convenient and I don't think the food court is open during the summer months, so it'll be a while before I get this again, once I move. However, I have a feeling during final project week, I'll get enough to have my fill for a while. The second thing in this picture that I'm gonna miss is the studio. Sounds crazy, and I'll probably regret saying that in a few weeks once I spend approximately 120 straight hours there. But that studio has also been the home to many great memories, the place where a lot of great friendships were made, and my second home for the past four years. And last but not least of the things I'm gonna miss in this picture, is Peek's square project. Yes, I hated this project when I did it. But if you can see it, look how amazing they are once they're finished. And each year, it's fun to see the paintings and the art that the current sophomores pick to do for their project. It'll be sad not seeing all of the finished products again next year...
