sigh .. . I'm leaving this morning- about a half hour.  For school that is- about a 6-hour drive.  It's becoming more real to me.  Like sharing a room w/ someone, and a living area with everyone!!  My space, peace, anything, is not my own anymore.  I'd forgotten how different this quiet home of my parents' has been from dorm life.  sigh .. . . but it is good to always have someone there.  It was a lot easier to talk w/ someone in the middle of the night, at least.

I slept through the night, and am awake, so that's a good thing, right?  Good for traveling safely, I presume.

I'm actually not bringing any food to school, save some cookies.  I know I'd eat more, but packing anything else seems like torture- I hope I don't regret it!
