almost there
Wow, I have had more than my share of adventures in the past week. Because of my lack of time and space I will work backwards starting with what is on my mind tonight.

Right now, I am at Sharon's Davis apartment. I am super excited to see her again and to finally see the town and campus. No matter how good it is to be here, being here has been hard. As I wanted to say to Eric throughout the entire ride home, I think that this is the first summer that I have had more reasons for wanting to be in Walla Walla than for wanting to be home. So far it has not hit me that this is summer. Most years I just can't wait to be back with nothing to do, but this time I felt like I was leaving so much behind. More than ever before, I began to get scared for this time next year when we are parting, not for summer, but for good.
Leaving Walla Walla itself was so rushed that it wasn't bad, but it really hit me when Eric left me here in Davis, so much so that I could hardly stop myself from crying.

Luckily we were able to spend lots of quality time together before graduation. My favorite of these and the most necessary for me to mention was my little birthday celebration. I cannot express how much I love Eric, Elizabeth, and Chau. They all woke up at 5:00 a.m. and dragged me to the science building roof for sunrise watching, lamplighter, homemade apple muffins, and tea. I was especially impressed because I had seen them all awake at 3:00 a.m. and they were all able to wake up again independantly. My birthday wish was for no Eric and Elizabeth arguements, but that was as difficult as always for them to manage.

Sharon's homework calls. More about Walla Walla and my summer plans later.
