Sigh, tear, scream. No bueno.

I have so much to be happy about. I really do.

But at this moment in time, happiness is getting harder and harder to find.

But that is not say that I am unhappy. No way Jose. I mean, come on! I get to see my little brats slash lovers (a.k.a. the little bros and sis) in T-minus 2 days. I repeat: 2 days! I cannot wait. Not to mention that this time next week, I will actually have money in my wallet and some tannage on my skin. Insert happy dance here. And this time two weeks from now, I will be preparing for an independent adventure with my roomie/coworker/sister/cousin/best friend. Can I get a fist pump? Alright.

But back to what I was trying to say: leaving JMU for four months is twenty seven times harder than leaving my high school forever. I have way to much fun at school (Yes, I did just use fun and school in the same sentence. GASP!). And now I have to leave my new found best friends, and work my butt off all summer? Sigh, tear, scream. No bueno.

And although we will be coming back, and I realize that it is not the end of the world, I still will miss this place ever so dearly. So here are a few little shout outs to all those people I a miss, a lot.

The Roommates: Roomies for two years? Bring it on! You make my home life a lot more interesting than it actually is at my real home. And although we (and by "we" I mean Tyra and I) are very mean to each other, its all love. If it wasn't for Jessie, me and Tyra might be dead as a result of the other's anger. As Jessie would say: "I can't be sure."

The Matchmakers: Sisters in Christ? Yes. Sisters in heart? Yes. Sisters in Friendship? Yes. Biological sisters? Alas, no. But we mine as well will be. I will miss our muddy adventures and iHop runs and our heart-to-hearts.

The rest of the Doughty's: You redefined the concept of a "church family" for me. In a good way, be sure of that! I will miss the campfires and the madness almost as much as I will miss the church.

Froomies (as Britt Card deemed it): Our vent sessions, PLL nights, and girls nights kept me sane. And Rachel, every time I watch Tangled, I will think of you. Brittany, thanks for bringing out my redneck. Kirsten, if you ever need someone to go track down the other two again, you know how to call.

My Wonderful Big: Our lunch dates slash homework dates were the highlight of my week (even though the planning kind of failed toward the end of the semester). Don't forget me this summer miss! Oh right, you won't, because YOU ARE COMING TO DELAWARE IN JULY. And don't listen to whatever Michael tells you about my little state, it's only a little boring.

Lilies and Doves and SAO Loves: Without the love that you guys expell constantly, I can honestly say that I have no idea where this semester would have lead me. All I know is that without you, I would have let my relationship with God this year would have crumble and dissolve. Thanks for loving a stranger, and then loving me a sister. True beauty of a Christian right there.

Rockstar: Short, sweet and to the point is pretty much how we roll. Most would say "Eh, too fast." But I say, no way Jose. Daily songs and Bible passages?! Yeah, I think you'll do. But I guess we got to change our speed from full force to slow and patient. Poop, not happy about this. Just a warning: Be expecting a lot of texting or Facebooking or Skyping over the next few months.

Well, that is all. If I did not mention you, it's not that I don't love you! It's just that I have to be across campus in ten minutes so I didn't really have time to recognize each and every person.

My dorm room is, for all intensive purposes, empty.
My friends, well half of them, are gone.
My brain is fried.
My body is tired.

Is it time go yet? Or am I even ready to go?

Yes, I guess I am. It's gonna be beachy on the other side. I cannot wait to be reunited with the ocean.
