I have been sitting in the MU so long that the HUT shuttle has come through twice. The HUT shuttle runs through Eugene, up through Corvallis, and also stops in Albany, Salem, and Woodburn collecting passengers and dropping them off at the Portland airport and vice versa. If you take into account the fact that Portland is at least an hour and a half from Corvallis, there are three stops from here to Portland plus loading and unloading time, and traffic, I've been here a while. On the plus side, I only have one paper left and one test. Also a plus? In only one class have I had to calculate the minimum grade I need on the final to pass the class. Science is not my thing. Don't judge.
After this hell week is over, it will be unpacking in the new apartment and then diving head first into wedding planning. I had a dress fitting yesterday and luckily there isn't too much to be done. Everyone including myself has found shoes and even Karissa found a dress. But there will be plenty about wedding planning as the weeks go on. As the school year comes to a close, I have been reflecting.
Mom passed away the day before school started. I took a week off and then made my grand reappearance. Needless to say, I almost didn't pass those classes, but I did. Yesterday I finished cleaning out my dorm and for some reason I was sad. I think I was sad because that room was my safe place for nine months. I cried there and I mourned there. I learned there. This year I learned a lot. I learned that even though it is hard, you can go on living. I learned that even when you lose someone, you still have people. Even though it is hard to do wedding things without her, I still enjoy them. What do you know? I actually learned something at school this year and I think she would be proud.
Until next time,
Karina
