Today was...or rather, is, my last day truly living at home. From tomorrow onward I will be in constant transit until the day I find my own place. Last year I didn't really feel sad leaving. In fact, I was quite glad to be leaving. However, last year I knew that I'd return home this summer to the same place. This year is a different story. For those of you who don't know, I will not have another summer break in college. The University of Cincinnati College of Engineering has created a program featuring alternating quarters of co-op and study following the freshman year. Of course, my program will be interrupted in two or so years to allow me to study abroad, but that doesn't change the effect it will have. From now until I graduate I'm going to be in transit.
I've been thinking a lot lately and I'm not worried about losing my friends or family. I know that no matter where I go the people who care about me and that I care about will be able to contact me and vice versa. I'll also still have occasional holiday breaks to spend with people, so you can't forget about me...heck, I may even get a co-op in town and nothing will seem too different...it's just that I'm really going to have to take this big flying leap with the way I view my life.
