So this is it. I'm done after today. I leave for Utah tomorrow morning at like 6. Wow. It's weird to be leaving. And like, Lauren's already gone, Jennifer left for USC, Diana is out of town, Kjrstin just left to go out of town too, so Trisha's here to say goodbye... Weird!
I fit all of my life in about 7 boxes, plus a suitcase. Can you believe it I had to fit MY ENTIRE DRESSER into a SUITCASE because my dad wouldn't let me have anymore boxes. But I did it. I'm impressed by it anyways.
So my mom and I drive out tomorrow, stay at Aunt Jodi's house tonight, and then I start to unpack for an hour Monday morning and leave for Aspen Grove for the Foundation of Leadership conference. OH! And we might be swinging by the Allred's for lunch/visit when we get to Vegas. So that'll be fun. Then my dad is driving out with the Smith's on like Thursday or Friday so he can go to the football game (lol) and he and Mom leave Sundayish I think.
It's all very exciting, but I'm also really sad to leave. Talking to Kjrstin last night made me very nostalgic of everything we've been through and everything else that has gone on in our lives, especially throughout high school. I found all my old yearbooks, but I haven't had the heart to look through them because I just know it'll make me really sad.
But I'm really glad that I know people out there too. Like Aubre and Hayley and Ashlyn and Eliza and Rachel and Kristin and Emmaleigh and Mandie and of course my sweet new roommates that I've yet to meet. But I'm really going to miss my family. I can't even think about that. About not being here for choir concerts and baseball games and back-to-school nights and elementary school carnivals and 2nd grade patriotic concerts and oral language and dances and birthdays and things like that.
There's still so many things that I feel like I need to do before I go to bed tonight. So I'll write more soon. But as for Bakersfield, this is it! :/ Good luck everyone! I'll miss you dearly!
New Song for today: Fade Away by Celine Dion (thanks Mandie!)

Oh my goodness so for all the Twihards like me, we have 4 1/2 HOURS left until the final Twilight book comes out!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
I made a shirt. Yes I'm a dork, I'm fully aware of that. And I'm going to the Borders Midnight Release Party in about an hour an a half with Abby and Emma Luthi, Kjrstin, and Melanie. Except for the stupid fact that I didn't preorder the book because I didn't think I would want it this badly. The plan was just to go to Walmart in the morning like when it first opens and buy it because it's cheaper there. Except now I'm reeeeeeeeally regreting that. Ugh. I'm dumb. So I'm hoping that my shirt (which still isn't finished by the way) just turns out to be bomb-awesome and I win their homemade t-shirt contest and get a free copy of the book at the Borders Party.
I also found out today that Eliesa, one of my five roommates for the fall, is signed up for Foundations of Leadership too! Yay! Friends! lol I was talking to Mary-Celeste about it today, and I kind of realized I have NO idea what this conference thing even is! So I'm glad Eliesa's going too, that way if it's completely awful we can just cry together. :P Or if it's really really good, we'll have a jumpstart on roommate bonding and friendliness. It's a win win either way. Go team.
AAAH! I need this book. I kind of like stop breathing when I think about it. Haha I was at work today playing Mahjong on my iPod as usual, but I was listening to the Mitch Hansen Band, which a the Twilight-inspired band. They kind of suck, and all the songs are SO beyond cheesy, but it makes me laugh and it DEFINITELY got me in the Twilight mood. Their singing is pretty awful on most songs, and their guitar playing is mediocre. But props to them for creativity and being able to actually WRITE music. I can't do that. So, I guess I probably shouldn't be dissing them.... Sorry Mitch Hansen Band. They're really cool I didn't mean to be so judgmental and harsh. Go team! :P
