Champlain is Empty

Most of my friends have now officially left campus, and Cushing hall is the loneliest place in the world right now. The only people left in this building are me and my two RAs. I watched as my friends emptied their rooms, slowly stripping them bare of their previous dwellers. Some of the rooms in this building have so many memories, and to see them empty leaves a cool feeling in my bones.

My roommate left yesterday, and with her departure came a nice looking hole in the wall. Somehow she managed to rip off a big chunk of the sheetrock paper and paint -- at least I have something to remember her while I'm here. I'm excited cause her and I will be suite-mates next year too. She really was the best roommate ever.

I've spent the last few days cleaning up my room. Now that I have the stress lifted from finals and the end of the year, I feel like I can really focus on the things I need to be doing for me. Despite the week of rain ahead, I cannot wait for my Peer Advisor training to eat up the hours in my day. I cannot wait to get home so I can work on making my mother happy again. I cannot wait to get home to see those I've missed and spend some time just sitting around and enjoying life.
