I've been shut in my room for a good part of the day going through eighteen years of memories. No, it's not for the sake of sentimentality, there is a purpose.
I am officially packing up and moving out of my room. Down come the posters, pictures and momentos (I'm fighting to keep the plaques up- I don't want them stuffed away in boxes!). The "shrine to Courtney," as my dad puts it, will be no longer.
Why, you wonder? We are having a visitor, a long-term visitor in fact. And since this visitor has more of a need for my room this semester than I do, I'm happy to give it up.
You remember the MAbA story I told about how the people I met on that trip the summer after my sophomore year have become an important part of my everyday life at college? Well, there's another twist to it.
Also on the trip were a few past MAbA members who had gone on the trip a few years before us. Before school started, I found out that one of these members was going to be a student teacher in the Trenton Ag Department. So, when I happened to run into her this fall I asked how things were going and it eventually led to getting her in contact with my parents who offered her a place to stay.
Ironically, she shares the same name as my sister. That should be interesting!
So, here I am with plastic trash bags full of my "stuff" (though I don't like to refer to it like that) and mountains of clutter. I sure hope I am up to the task again tomorrow- it'll be another long day I'm afraid!
Good night, and enjoy this second to last evening before 2012! I wonder what new things this next year will bring... It's sure to be interesting!
