goodbyes

It's the 11th today. I leave in seven days, twelve hours, thirty-one minutes, and fourty-two seconds! I've had to say goodbye to so many people already. On Thursday the 7th, I went to Valleyfair with Justin, Taylor, and Ryan. It was really fun!

Then we had a going-away party for me and Patti; and Brett and Charles got me some Pokemon stuff as a present! Actually right now, I'm watching the season that they bought me. Pokemon is ridiculous! I love it so much. If I never grow up, that'd be okay with me.

"I wanna be the very best, that no one ever was. To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause. I will travel across the land, searching far and wide, each Pokemon to understand, the power that's inside."

LOL

It's so hard to say goodbye to everyone. I'm going to miss them so much! Especially my little dog, Lokie.

It's so hard to not know if she's okay 100% of the time. I bought her two years ago, and she's my responsibility. She's so little and she causes so much trouble!

And then there's Diana, my best friend in the entire world!!! We are sarcastic, and rude, and cynical, and absolutlely hysterical when we're together. I'm going to miss sitting on the park bench with her wondering why everybody else isn't as cool as us and making plans that usually don't work.

Wow, this is the hardest part of the entire trip! Saying goodbye. I still feel like I have an infinity before I leave, but it's only 7 days away!
