Closing Time

Remember how I said saying goodbye to friends really sucks? Saying goodbye to family is much, much worse. Lots of tears in my house today. And I haven't even left yet.

This is probably my last entry from South Bend, by the way. Tomorrow, I get on a plane to Boston, and...and that's it.

This is the moment, then. Tomorrow - things are going to change, and keep on changing. And I'll change with them. For the better, I hope.

Tomorrow. Once, I thought it couldn't come fast enough. Now I'm afraid it's coming too soon. And the only thing I can do is meet it head-on, and maybe try to crack a smile through the tears. Yes, I said tears. I wish I could say I'm not going to cry tomorrow. But I know I will. Angst-ridden as that may sound.

I thought I would have more to say. But somehow, I think I've already said everything that really matters.
