My time at Guilford was wonderful, if bitter-sweet. It was strange to be there with all of my friends starting classes and me just kind of sitting there waiting for people to be finished with things. Saying goodbye was hard. I am excited to be leaving for Italy, but of course I will miss everyone.
Alethea was the last person I said goodbye to. We walked out to my car, she wasn't wearing shoes, I can't remember why. We put my stuff in the trunk then it was time for me to get in the car and go. She hugged me and we just stood there. I started to pull away but we just kept hugging. Finally I got in the car and I rolled down the window and she held on to the door so I couldn't drive away, but eventually she had to let me. She stood in the parking lot waving while I waited to turn left onto the street and kept waving while I drove towards the light. I was waving too, and Jesse passed me on his bike, he shouted goodbye and the two of them stood there until I couldn't see them anymore.
It was the best goodbye I could have asked for, I think.
Less that a week left. I can hardly believe it.
