The adventure begins

Today is the start and end of many things. The start to moving (which will take roughly 4 days from start to finish). The beginning of my dislike for some peoples attitudes. The end of my time at Missouri State University. The start to a new life outside of the Midwest. This is scary to think about...okay not so scary.

I dealt with Georgia Power today and that was definitely an adventure. It was one of those moments that on top of all the other stressful things happening was the straw that broke the camels back. For this first time since this all began, I was almost in tears. Keep in mind I am always the last to cry even at very sad movies. *I didn't shed a tear during the notebook or blind side. Therefore it is very uncommon that things would get this emotional for me, but today was the culmination point and those tears almost broke through. No go though, def a no go. I held them back well and now all is good. Power will be turned on for MONDAY. yippee.

This week also included getting my final offer and approved for an apartment that I really love. (Even though a friend did not like it much) The apartment I will be living at includes a rooftop pool and great workout area. You can check it out at www.marquisvista.com.

Said "see ya later" today to wonderful SOAR leaders whom I have come to call my family. They really take great care of each other and I don't think there is another organization that can touch the relationships that develop during 2 months together. "See ya laters" we also in store for much the the student union staff. If I missed you I'm sorry. It was extremely heart wrenching to walk out the doors of the union, with all its memories, people, and vendors that I love. Its not that I don't think I will be back, because I know I will, but it will not be the same feeling that it is now. Now I can walk into the union say hi to the front desk working, chat with the blimpies folks, ride the elevator with someone I know, and go to an office filled with humor and uhh...productivity. That feeling will not be there when I return to visit, instead it will mark the legacy that I have left behind with those I have hopefully left a mark on.

Leaving is just not fun to do. Enough Said!
