I find myself in a sort of blue funk today. Maybe I'm just exhausted after a week of far too many really late nights. Maybe I'm just worn out from a really long year. Or maybe this transition phase I am in is rearing its ugly head. I grew up 30 miles from where I went to college. I have some of the same friends now that I had when I was in second grade...and most of them from high school. Most of my friends stayed around Iowa after graduation...and those that didn't, I usually make a point to go see as often as I can...I love roadtrips. But this is a little different. It's a little more difficult to cross the ocean cheaply. :) I don't like saying goodbye. I don't really know anyone who does...but I think I'm especially bad at it. I want to spend as much time as I can with those I love the most...but I know that's not always possible. Pretty much, I'm dreading saying goodbye and I find myself blue because of it. My first hard goodbye will come this weekend when a friend leaves. Don't know when I'll see him again. I guess this is the life of MK's...but I wasn't an MK. It will be ok though. Just a little blue today.
