I've spent the last three days emptying out and cleaning my dorm room. It's nowhere near as clean as it should be, but I'm done. I'm just exhausted and I have to drive 12 hours each of the next 2 days.
I've reached the point where I'm willing to just give up on the deposit, just so I can be done screwing with it.
I'm saying good-bye to Columbia, at least for a while. It's been a great home for me, and I don't want to leave, but I have to.
The biggest problem with leaving is that I don't have any idea where I'm headed. The image that comes to mind is letting go of one side of a swimming pool without knowing I'm going to be able to swim across to the other side.
I'm going to drive to my mother's house in Colorado over the next couple of days, and then I have to come back to Birmingham for General Assembly in the middle of June. Then I don't know what.
The hardest part about staying at my mother's house is that she has no Internet access. I'm going to be dependant on libraries, it's a real comedown, I've had broadband for 7 or 8 years now, and I love being able to always check stuff online no matter what else I'm doing. This is when I really wish I had bought a laptop, because it would probably a little awkward to take the iMac down to Starbucks
