Save a Seat for Me.
Finals week is finally over but let me tell you once finals are done and you think the worst of your worries are over, they for the most part just begin. I finished my finals early on Thursday but on account of working for STARS, I had to stay and attend a meeting on Friday evening. We had an 80’s theme party/meeting and although I was bummed about staying it was a lot of fun.
I started on Monday packing up all of my stuff, to start the process of moving out. I took a trip home the weekend before delivering all of the stuff I didn’t think that I would need, or the odds and ends that I had picked up during the 10 months that I lived in Fort Wayne. I told mom and dad that I thought since I made that trip, that everything would fit into my car, and that they wouldn’t have to drive from Ohio to help me pack up and move out. After my theatre final on Thursday I started to pack up my car with everything that I didn’t need for my last day. I piled everything else in my living room in boxes, and one by one I started to feel uneasy about my decision. The pile soon became a big one and I knew that it was going to be a puzzle to fit all of my left over stuff into my car.
Friday morning I got up bright and early and started to load the boxes and bags into my car. Before I knew it, I was no longer able to open my trunk on account of things would fall out because it was just so full. It wasn’t too much longer before my back seat was the same way. I started to panic as I walked back up making my 10th trip up the stairs and saw the pile, smaller but still not small enough. From there I carried down one box at a time, and tried several times to rearrange things to make it all fit. I was down to the last three and I started to take things out of boxes to fill in all the cracks of my car. (I drive a very small car the way it is, so by this time it really looked hilarious.) My final trip down the stairs was made, I turned in my keys and I started to make my trek home to Ohio.
My advice to any new freshman would be to make sure you have someone that can help you move out. It’s scary when to see out your passenger window you have to move a lamp shade.
