Graduation Day, Packing and Blue Wind

Today is Graduation day for the St. Mary's College of Maryland class of 2010. Crazy!! It is so weird to think that a large portion of my team and friends will not be here next spring when I return from Paris. Graduation always freaks me out...I see my friends with their parents, much like high school graduation, only this time it's more serious: the real world awaits, we are truly leaving the nest and going out on our own to get jobs and other such nonsense. And in only 2 years I will be there - FOUR SEMESTERS!! It always always always makes me go crazy. This is only part of the reason why I did not attend graduation, and never do. And partially because I am either packing, sleeping, or otherwise engaged.

Speaking of packing, it has been absolutely brutal. Last night it was hot and muggy in my room, and I was sweating as I watched comedy central and packed up all of my belongings, which still needs to be finished. I packed up everything from my clothes to my dishes to my makeup and knick knacks from my desk, and organized it all in boxes and bags until my room became a disheveled mess of disorder.

Haha, parents are outside arguing. I love family affairs. So funny.

Back to packing. I am literally taking my life and putting it in boxes. For some reason, I have a moral issue with this. One of the things I've learned in the past 3 weeks is that you can never take things and put them in boxes, prim and neat like there was never any chaos to it. Shoes, yes, maybe. Disorder is meant to be disorder, not packed away neatly like it never enveloped the room in chaos.

I ran into a friend as she was leaving graduation (I was hoping to catch the last couple of names), and we are heading to Blue Wind for lunch. Campus is essentially shut down right now, so food is a scarcity. And I am not one to eat Ramen. Ever.
