And it's so hard to say goodbye when there's so much that's left unspoken in your eyes...
In accordance with my master plan for the universe, snow is falling gently and blanketing the lovely campus at the University at Buffalo. It's that deliciously wonderful kind of snow that falls very slowly but steadily. The large snowflakes just keep sailing by the large windows of the library as I sit and type and dream. I took a very long shift to cover for someone and hopefully make a little money before depart!
Last night, Erica, Tom, Elliot and Steve came by! I cooked a magnificent dinner including those cute little Pillsbury Christmas cookies with snowmen on them and Tom made EGGNOG from scratch. Brilliant. I also decided to bust into my bottle of white wine and drink it all myself. This was followed by the awesomeness of Mean Girls and a few episodes of Sex and the City. Everyone left around 11:30 or so and I went to sleep...and then woke up at 5 am in a panic attack, realizing that I do not have my apartment packed or cleaned, do not have my final song memorized, have not called Jim to make up any voice lessons, have not cancelled my electric service, have not paid my internet bill, have not said goodbye to certain people, have not videotaped my past shows here to bring home with me, ETC. I nearly cried.
BREATHE. Here I am. Doing okay. I have broken down the remaining 72 hours into chunks so I know exactly when I'm getting everything done. It can happen. It will happen. I will be fine.
Tonight or tomorrow, whenever I get up the courage, I am going to drive around to certain Buffalo landmarks and say farewell. I promised myself I wouldn't over do it but I still need a little bit of love. I'm going to take Tom with me and any other volunteers and just cruise around and maybe take some crazy pictures. The List Includes:
The Williamsville Park
Higher Grounds
146 Hartford Rd.
Jasmine's
The Ellicott Bike Path
My old dorm rooms
last but not least....
Wegmans.
I'm sure more will be added as I see fit. I'll take lots of pictures and hopefully after the New Year, I'll post as much as I can. I'm hoping by then I will splurge and finally buy the software I need to update this very frequently. I do apologize for the random political page on the front of this website that needs to be taken down and the other outdated links. I'll do the best I can if you can bear with me for a few more weeks. Once I'm officially graduated, I'm sure I will have lots of free time to do all those things I've been meaning to. Then again, knowing me, I'll get involved in about 8 other things and forget all about it.
Well. It's just time for me to take a huge deep breath and maybe eat a grilled cheese sandwich. Happy Snowy Day. I do love it here...so very much.
Peace.
