"There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see; And it's pulling independence out of me."
I am leaving rainy, dreary, soon to be snowy Ohio tomorrow morning and heading for bright and sunny Charleston, South Carolina :) I am pretty happy about this. The cold weather may be the main reason. Also, independence is something that I have been missing dearly these past few weeks living at home. Don't get me wrong, I love my family, but it is time to go away for awhile. I am ready for a change of scenery. I am ready to be near historic downtown Charleston and the beach. I am ready to job search and hopefully have the need to search for an apartment...
The only problem is the packing. I am sitting here writing this with maybe only half of my packing done. Mostly because I am worried all of the stuff I want to bring for 7 weeks won't fit in the car.
I am excited about getting to my 7th grade social studies class, but my last day at Erwine was really sad. I am really going to miss my teacher and all of the students. They did so many special things for me and I am really grateful and appreciative of the memories I made. I have a class picture from picture day of our home room class. The kids all made me goodbye cards, which I haven't read yet. There will probably be a post about that when I get to Charleston and read them and I'll cry like a baby, you know the normal separation anxiety stuff. Surprisingly I made it out of the school, went to say goodbye to my grandpa, and made it into my car and down the street before i broke down. One girl brought me the prettiest pink flowers, a few other girls made things, and one special student brought her her grape juice from the cafeteria. Weird but thoughtful... Our home room pretty much attacked me with a giant group hug and it made me feel like I had really left an impression on them. They definitely left one on me. I'll never forget my first class. :)
