Leaving friends

Well I guess here's my attempt at blog #2.

Leaving my friends yesterday was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I wish I could say I didn't cry but I did. I'm pretty sure I shed more tears yesterday than the rest of my life combined. Actually, I know that's a fact. I never cry and I gotta say, I hate it haha. I know it's a release but I feel so weak and so pathetic crying like I was. At this time I'd like to thank a certain someone for being my "listener" for the day, so thank you very much. I know that I will see everyone again in just 3.5 months, but this is something I have never done in my life and that's being so far from everyone I know. This blog title should just be Emo Zach but I'll try not to be a pansy here.

Leaving Nibbler was hard. Having a companion by your side for as long as he has, it's hard to just up and leave him. Knowing he's in good hands is a bonus though.

Saying goodbye to my sister Katrina was really hard too. She's in her second semester at K-State and I've been around her all break so it's hard to say bye to a close sister and friend. On that note, saying bye to Nathan and Adam was also hard, I just wasn't around them as much so its a little easier with them.

Today my mom brought me cookies and milk while I was packing up. That made me realize how much I will miss her. She is so caring and loving and its just another hard thing to do.

I stopped by Jordan Broxtermans house before I left Manhattan. Getting to be with those guys for a few hours was really nice for me. I didn't think I'd see them before I left and that was kinda hard to take, luckily I did stop by and just hanging out is going to be something I miss greatly.

I'm such a worry-er. I know that some people are concerned for my safety and some are going to miss me just as much as I miss them, but I tell you now that I am horrible at letting my worries get the best of me. It's something that I'm working on but I guess I really can't help it. I'd say that is more of a good trait than bad, but it's whatevz.

Trying to finish up my packing for the trip today and tomorrow will finalize all trip preparations for an early departure on Friday around 7am. I am really looking forward to taking lots of pictures of my trip out there and our stop in Nashville.

I'll stop for today as this is just another reason for me to procrastinate more from my tasks ahead.
Photos coming soon!!!!
