Alison's back ... which makes me really happy. I'm not going to deal so well when she leaves for London for a whole semester in the fall. Especially since Ellen will also be gone to Oxford ... as will a number of my other friends.

In the meantime, I have a whole summer to enjoy. My summer officially begins in 7.5 hours. I have my historical linguistics final from 2-4 and then I am DONE! I really really should start packing, especially since I start working full-time at o-tation tomorrow morning at 9 ... and won't have so so much time before I have to move out next Monday. However, I am going to enjoy the fact that I am done and see Ellen a bit before she leaves tomorrow morning.

As sad as I am to see everyone go, I love this campus when it's empty. Someone was discussing how depressing it is, but this is when I love Boston the most ... when it's empty. :) I am so ultra-possessive of the campus, though. When everyone moved back last fall, I wanted to scream out the windows, "What do you think you're doing? This is MY campus. Go home!" But now, everyone's taking off again ... leaving me with a few people to play and play with ... and I'm so pleased.

I am also pleased for a break in the 20 credit-8 class madness that has been going with no real break for the last 8 months. I am looking forward to being able to practice when and what I want .... sleep ... not write papers or stare for hours at sets of data from long-dead languages ... sleep ... go out and play in the city .... Yay for summer!

I must finish studying, so this exam doesn't drain the joy that is surrounding this day!
