Today I took Two finals and tomorrow morning I will take the last and final exam that I will hopefully ever have to take at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. On May 2nd I will be safely back home in Mobile still celebrating with my family members and looking for a short summer job, before I spend a month in Atlanta helping the Kiddies.
Tomorrow I will go through graduation exercises. It feels kinda weird because quite a few of my friends are leaving tomorrow to go home, and I can remember the push that I have had in the past to get away finally. But now I can't leave and I really am not ready to pack up and move out.
Don't get me wrong I am ready to go home, but I am not ready to leave my friends for the final time. Hey yeah I can come back and visit and of course I will but it's not the same as calling Marissa and asking her to go to the movies, or hopping in the car with Kiana and Jessica and going to the club and wild'n out. Yeah there will be homecomings and yeah there will be home football games and of course the Orlando Classic...... but there will be no more Saturday nights. No more marathon talking sessions, no more roadtrips where all of my money starts disappearing from my bank account and my friends think I am going to lose it only to have to money returned on that Monday, no more dinners and campus activities, no more Jones Hall, and no more 90.5 wamn.
I will miss the probates and the dance-offs, the pageants and the elections, the late night studying for comparative anatomy and histology, the plays in the Winterwood theatre, and the movie nights in Lee hall.
I will miss the parties in the bowling alley, and especially "Set Fridays".
I will even miss the Orange Room even though they employ some of the rudest workers in the world.
I have enjoyed my experience here and I wouldn't change it for the world. I can't imagine what the next few years will hold for me but I have truly enjoyed the last 4.
So to all of my friends that have asked why aren't I happier or why aren't I sad, I say because I will miss you and the times that we have spent here, the lesson we have learned and the friends that we have lost along the way.
I have not shed a tear because if I start I may not know how to end.........
