So today my mom and grandma decided to "surprise" me and drive to Portland instead of starting to drive towards North Dakota. I say "surprise" because I had a feeling that she was on her way towards Portland, or maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part. No matter how much people claim not to need their parents, we all are momma's and daddy's kids and want that parental approval, no matter how old we get.
Today I also said goodbye to my friends Melanie, Rick, and Caitlin and my boss Sarah. Melanie and Rick have been doing summer course at U.P and finish tomorrow (good luck on your finals!) The hard part wasn't saying bye to Rick (love you!) but saying bye to Melanie who will be living in Salzburg, Austria next year for a studies abroad :( The goodbye just added a layer of sadness onto the nervous/stoked/excited/ready wreck I am.
It's currently half past midnight and no matter how much I claimed I was going to stay up all night, there is no way! So goodnight,good morning, and goodbye to the U.S of A for the next 2 weeks and HELLO AFRICA!!!
