Bye Bye

It seems that nowadays, summer vacation always rushes by in a blink of an eye. I get out of school, I go to my summer job a couple of times, and then my bags are all packed and I'm leaving for school in less than 24 hours. I do look forward to the work that's awaiting me and seeing all my friends there, a little nervous about cooking for myself though. I know I would have had to start doing that eventually, but still, it's a bit strange once actually confronted by the situation.
I think I'll miss Danbury - there's something nice about being at home. I feel comfortable, and there isn't some constant force in the back of my mind pressing me to get around to some chore that I've left for far too long. I don't feel quite so lonely too in that sometimes I'm constantly checking my email and wishing for someone to talk to, but when I'm at home, that seldom ever happens. I'll definitely miss Marlen and Matt and all my other Danbury friends. My parents took Marlen and me to Todai in White Plains today for a farewell sushi lunch. We all enjoyed it quite thoroughly, and I doubt I'm going to want to eat dinner tonight, I'm that full. And then we fixed up Marlen's new laptop with Microsoft Office and some various other needed pieces of software. I thought it'd be a nice going away present of sorts, except that we mixed the installation processes up a bit and had to re-image the whole thing. Dad said that on the bright side, she'll know what to do when her computer completely dies on her. I suppose that makes sense - I think it still would have been better if the whole experience was trauma free. I also feel a bit sad that I'm leaving behind certain things yet again...like Brendan Irving...it'll be sad, especially now that he knows I exist and he didn't seem repulsed by my presence, and it's silly that I feel that way since I've only seen him this once since he graduated high school, and I'll probably never see him again...Ah well, he's like a modern-day Adonis, he probably has a crowd of women after him. I'll just leave him to that.
Anyhow, I now have to unplug my computer and stuff it into a box. Good bye, Danbury. It was nice seeing you again.
