Ten Fingers

I have ten days until I am back in Albany, back behind ye grey walls, and back into the day-to-day life of boarding school. For the first two weeks or so, I have preseason tennis, for 7 hours a day, every day. Regarding actually making the team, we'll have to see about that...

One week ago, I had a bomb dropped on me that I wasn't exactly expecting. My roommate, J, is one of my best friends at school. We went through so much together, and look forward to much more. When she called me and told me news I had never expected, that was all shifted in an unsettling direction. A year earlier than expected, she is becoming a day student, which is resulting in me having our room as a single, for at least half the year, and possibly the entire year. I will deeply miss having someone to come back to after a long day, especially someone who I have become so close and comfortable with. Facing the year a little more alone than I had hoped, we'll see how things shape out. For now, I'm looking forward to getting back in the groove of things in the biggest way possible.

Hannah comes home Monday night, which means we'll all be one big happy family for an entire..3 days. Which may not be totally happy because little does she know, her room is half filled with my stuff in boxes. Whoops!

PS: Is it weird that I've been studying for my spanish class for two months already, considering it doesn't start until September? To myself and other normal people, probably. To everyone else at my school, it may be considered slacking. Yo no gusta espanol.
