The semester is actually coming to a close and it feels like it. Up until this point I've been running around like a chicken with my head cut off, but now things are starting to calm down. I still have a bunch to do before I fly out tomorrow, but it all seems possible now. Yesterday was fun. Claire and I got lunch, then I spent way too much time on the phone with Alicia and my mom. I cried a lot yesterday(now that I look at that, yesterday really doesn't look like fun). After my afternoon of tears I went over to the house and watched the Anchorman sequel with some of the guys. It was a nice way to end the day. I then came home and talked with both Alicia and Rosie on the phone. I'm so happy that I have such special friends back at home. Alicia and Rosie have been angels this semester. Well, actually when I think of it, Alicia has been the little angel on my shoulder while Rosie was the devil on the other. I love them both!

This morning I met Dave for coffee and we got a chance to talk before he leaves. It only got better when Randy walked in the door. How perfect to end this semester with the Trifecta! I don't know what I would do without those guys. I feel a lot better about everything after talking to those two. I wish I had more time to spend with them. At least I'll see Randy in New York soon.

I should go. Randy said the line at the bookstore goes all the way to Jazzman's, so I'm gearing up for a long wait. I also need to buy a few things. I'm not doing presents really, but I do need shampoo.
