I've Hit the Two Week Mark

It's down to two weeks. I'm done with pretty much all my work except for a few things here and there, but my time as an Undergraduate is slowly coming down to close. I stress the slowly because that's what I'm hoping the next two weeks will be like. Slow, but real.

I'm realizing that I'm pretty much torn because as per my previous post I wasn't ready to say goodbye, but today I feel like I've gotten everything out of what this town and people have to offer. I went out last night with a group of new and old friends that have been around and true to me since my freshman year. To think that they've been around and stayed true to themselves and our friendship I feel is a rare today.

I've been burned by so many people in the past, but I haven't allowed that to affect the relationships I make today. Nor should it. I've enjoyed the company I've had these past four years, but I now feel as though something much greater awaits in the Big Apple.

I could just be bored here, and I can't "hold on" to Gainesville. Everyone is looking out for their own best interest. The friends will stay friends. The truth is you have to ask yourself whether what's made these past few years fun was the city or the people you were with. I asked myself the same question when I look back at London. Its hard to really say which is the real reason everyone is afraid to say goodbye.

Today I'm excited and anxious for New York. Tomorrow that may all change, but one thing is certain... I'm ready to drink.
