here i sit at my desk.  the last time i will have a real dorm-y desk.
the room is piled with clothes, toiletries, and shoes that i have to somehow fit into a suitcase for the week.  i'm going to mexico tomorrow morning :)

when big life transitions happen, there usually is not time to process what's happening.  i hope to take time this week to reflect on my time here at moody and how i've changed through it and in spite of it.  i know that when i roll my suitcase out the door in a half an hour, it will be the last time i leave here expecting to return, even for only a day or two.

i'm getting emotional for the first time about this transition, and i think i'm just coming to realize how different my life will be when i return from mexico.  no more living in a condensed Christian community.  no more two-minutes walks to the commons where i inevitably find a friend or acquaintance to catch up with.  things will just be... different.

on a lighter note, i need to finish shoving it all in the suitcase (that actually isn't very full, so shove is probably an exaggeration.), call flashcab, and head on up to the creswells for the night awaiting our departure the next morning :)

hasta luego.
