Friday morning at 10 o'clock I was signed out of my room, all of my stuff was already packed, and I was ready to be back in Woodland. I went up to Max's room to see if he was ready. I was the one who woke him up and none of his stuff was packed. Long story short, we didn't leave PLU until 1230. It was raining, hard, so we couldn't put his belongings in the back of the truck so we had to go out and get industrial garbage bags to put all the stuff in so we could put it in the back. It was the morning so Max, Sam, his brother, and I were all not in the best moods already then having to pack for 2 and a half hours on top of that made for a pretty heated morning.
When we finally got on the road we got Taco Bell and that definitely helped turn around the grumpiness. When you're young, Taco Bell solves a lot of problems. Between the 3 of us we spent $25.
As this week went on and people started leaving, it was still hard to believe that my freshman year of college was over. It still doesn't feel real. Saying goodbye to people was hard. The first person I really had to say goodbye to was Craig and that was actually pretty difficult. You go from seeing someone everyday for a year to not being able to see them for a summer. I am going to try to go down to the Salem area and see him and McKenzie before I leave for Nebraska but we will see what ends up happening.
This may sound mean but I'm not a huge fan of saying goodbye. I almost left for school in the fall without saying goodbye to a lot of my friends but ended up having them come over late the last night so we could hang out one last time before I left. So I actually didn't end up saying goodbye to a lot of people at school. It was pretty sad saying goodbye to Luis and Scotty too. It's a little different for them though because I am going up to PLU before I leave for sure. Scotty and Luis have a house they move into next week and people move into the clubhouse (baseball house) in 2 days. Some of my other friends are getting houses too so it's going to be a lot of fun to see all my friends in the dorms in houses. I can't help but think of when I get to move off campus after next year. It is going to be so nice, especially having my own room. I don't even have a room to myself at home anymore, I feel missed.
The first night back, Friday night, I went out with Sam and Ashley and we saw the Saturday Night Live spin off McGruber. That was one of the weirdest movies I've seen in a long time. There were some scenes however that were hilarious. So many people told me it was hilarious, and they were right, they failed to mention how weird the movie was. So if you are going to see this movie, don't go in expecting too much. That is the cardinal rule about going to the theater. Also remember this is a movie review coming from an 18 year old now sophomore in college. Yeah that's right, a sophomore, feels good to say.
Some of the girls from school, the brown house girls, were on their way down to Portland yesterday afternoon. Amber texted me seeing what I was doing because they knew I'm from Woodland and that it's on the way. Every time someone is driving through Woodland they let me know that they said hi for me. Anyways, I told her I would want to do go eat or something but I was stranded, both cars were gone, I literally have $12 to my name right now, and I am a ways off the freeway if they wanted to come get me, so that wasn't going to work. Then she said OK well we are going to Max's for a little bit so we could pick you up and you could go hang out with him. I missed Max so much already, I hadn't seen him in almost a full day so I was all over it. So they dropped me off at Max's and we hung out for a little bit then we met up with them in Portland and just walked around. The sun ended up coming out and it was Memorial Day Weekend so it was pretty fun. We started out people watching on Pioneer Square then walked down on the waterfront and just hung out the whole day. Audra had never been to Portland, or Oregon for that matter so it was time for her first.
While we were out Max and I found out that we already got our futon for next year. His parents were at Costco and called us and told us about this dream futon, it is seriously a dream futon. It was a $400 futon on sale for $200 so they asked if we wanted it, it took us about half a second to say, Hell yeah! We are going to split it, so we are paying $100 each for a futon that will easily be the best in T-Stad next year. It is leather and seriously as comfortable as a couch. It is very likely that I am going to be sleeping on the futon more next year that I am in my own bed. Our room is going to be so ridiculous next year. We have the heaven futon, my sexy carpet, and Max's giant T.V. that we got the HD cables for yesterday. I know it's summer but I'm already excited for next year.
But I need to live in the now. And right now I'm sitting the house, alone, with an open schedule for the next 3 weeks. I love summer.
