So today has been the hardest day yet. I've finished up all of my finals and don't have much to do before I head home. In that respect I feel pretty good. I feel like shit when I think about everyone I'm leaving behind. I'm getting overly sentimental about a whole group of people I've known since September. It's strange, but in a lot of ways I feel closer to people here than I do with people I've known for years. My stomach is all tied up in knots and I can't wait to get home and cry a little; I'm sure that will ease up some of the tension.

On a lighter note. . .I just got done with lunch with Claire. I had a really nice time. I wish we would have started hanging out sooner, 'cause now I'm leaving. We're going to try to stay in touch to the best of our abilities. I'm not too surprised that it took me longer to make girl friends than guy friends. I suppose playing trombone plays a large part in that, but I'm not a girly-girl so much.

Well, I'm going to take off and do some much needed crying. I'll feel better soon. Tonight I'm going to get a beer with Ben and he always makes me feel better. Thanks Ben.
