It's over. I'm leaving OSU in 12 hours for the summer. I've never been so sad to leave somewhere before, to leave behind everything I've known and everyone who's become my family for all these months. Most of my belongings are packed up and stacked by my desk. All I have left are my clothes hanging in the closet and the sheets on my bed. It's going to be so weird to see this room empty again. Just four white walls and a bare tiled floor.

Finals did not go well this quarter. I didn't study enough for econ; I probably didn't do very well. Stats actually went all right—I think I still have a shot at an A in that class. Econ 505 went well, except I forgot how to pronounce "reciprocation" during my presentation. Embarrassing. And then there was anthro. I had spent all night out with friends for the last time and didn't study. At all. So, I failed. But I calculated that I only needed one point on the exam to get a C- in the class, and I can live with that if it comes to that.

It's so strange to be done and to be leaving for good. This isn't an ordinary two-week break. I'm going to be gone for three months. And when I come back, nothing will be the same. I really hope I can keep the friends I made; I want more than anything for us to just pick up where we left off. I'm not ready to say goodbye.
