So here we are, last day at home - unbrushed hair and makeup-free just after waking up. That'll be the last time I get to sleep in on my little old twin-sized bed (can't really say I'm gonna miss it-I'll have an XL full size waiting for me at my apartment!).
This day, so far, has been filled with packing, packing, laundry, and more packing haha! It's weird to think that I won't be coming back to this house ever again. My room is bare, and it feels a little unreal, but we've moved so much over the past few years, it doesn't bother me anymore. Especially now that I'm at school most of the time, this barely feels like home. I emptied out my closet, cleared my drawers, and filled boxes to take to my dad's new place. We tore down the old posters and threw a bunch of other junk away. Then there was just one project left:
Fitting all this into my dad's little two-door convertible. We managed it, though! I'm surprised at how much stuff I'm taking to school this year. My car is stuffed, my dad's is packed, I've got Patrick hauling a load in his truck, and I still have a pile of things from last year waiting for me back at school! I'm starting to feel pretty grateful for getting a first-floor apartment haha, I just hope I can find room for everything!
I'm so ready to move in; I've been looking forward to this apartment since before we even signed our lease! I've never really lived on my own before, so I'm excited for the independence and responsibility. Buying my own food and cooking will be new for me, but I can't wait! Plus, I can't wait to get to know my roommates even better - I love them both, and I really think it's just going to be a lot of fun living together.
I could go on forever about how psyched I am for senior year to start (oh my gosh, senior year!!), but I have to get going on more laundry and some last minute shopping. The next time you hear from me, I should be all moved in!
Bye-bye, Chicago!
