7 months = New home.

I always thought it would be so exciting to get an acceptance letter for a college. I always dreamt that I would be going with all of my friends to the same school. We would all get our letters on the same day, like they do in the TV shows, we would jump up and down with excitement as we all got accepted. It didn't happen that way though. I was alone when I got my mail and opened my letter, alone. I am alone going to the college i was accepted to because both of my best friends will not be attending my college or will be no where close to me.
Everyday it gets closer to graduation and I will be done with my Liberal Arts degree. Everyday it gets closer to the beginning of the 09-10 school year. Everyday it gets closer to the day of leaving this town, leaving my family and leaving my best friend who has never been away from my side for longer then 10 days.
I know I have written blog after blog about how I want to get out of this town. Now, don't get me wrong I do. I really really do. It is just kind of scary to know its actually going to happen in about 7 months. Like I said before, I always thought I would have someone with me. I will be on my own. I'm a big girl now though, I have to learn how to do things on my own. I just don't know how to.
I also realized I'm the first one of my group of friends to actually leave. Everyone talks about leaving but they never do. I suppose Mike left once, to Des Moines. That lasted about a month. I will be gone longer then a month, longer then two months. Sure, I will be back to visit, but I will be gone. My home will no longer be in my town, it will be in another town. When someone calls me, and I say "I'm at home" it will be an hour and a half away from them. It will be weird, scary, fun, exciting, and stressfull.
I'm rambling now.
Goodnight.
