i'm leaving on a midnight train to georgia

Okay, so maybe a 7 am car ride to Georgia, but I wish it were a midnight train, cause there's no song about a car ride. I think I'll miss State College. I'm getting sad. It feels kind of like the aftermath of a breakup. Except for the fact that it was my decision to leave. And that I feel really loved, because everyone's sad to see me go. And that I'm excited about what's happening next. And I haven't heard a single reason somebody doesn't want to be with me anymore, because, guess what?! Everybody wishes I were staying. So maybe it's nothing like breaking up. Huh.

But I would like to send out a special thanks to Wendy, for carrying all of the heavy suitcases and fitting almost everything into my car. And to Steve, for turning his phone off so I got his voice mail when I called him to come help. And Caitlin, for graciously letting me give her the table that wouldn't fit in my car.
