All Set

Everything I could possibly imagine that I will want for school (at least until the weather changes) is packed up and loaded into either my parents' suburban or my car. We are all set to leave early tomorrow morning and start the moving in process! I think we're leaving around 7 or 8. My roommate is going to get there around noon, and I'd like to have a little time before she gets there to settle in.

As much as it seems like I should feel reluctant to leave things behind, there's really not much of that going on right now. I'm just excited to move in. I know I won't get homesick; I'm used to being away from my parents for extended periods of time. I'm not leaving a whole lot of friends behind, really. I'll miss everyone from camp, but I don't usually see them very often anyway, so again, it's not much different. I have a few friends from high school that I'll be parting with, but my closest ones will be at Iowa anyway. So overall, I'm not really upset about leaving at all.

This will definately be a new experience, but I think I'm ready for it.
