[insert your life here]

This is quite possibly the last letter I will write from the hollowed grounds of Trinity Western University... at least for four months. Yes, I meant to wrote hollowed instead of hallowed. I guess one of the main reasons I am so ready to go is because this place becomes more and more hollow every hour as more and more lovely people leave. My dorm has shrunk to about 6 girls in the past 3 days. My roommate left this morning. Her barren bunk and deserted desk made me want to pack... it's a good thing I didn't need to study much for my final final (which went very well, by the way). I find it is very true: the building and location don't make the school, it's the people. I miss them a lot already, and some of them aren't even gone.

My packing party really started after my final final. I turned up my CD player really loud with all the the music that worry my neighbors: Radiohead, Sigur Ros, and Pedro.

"Hey, Leah, you might want to change the CD," Heather said as she walked out the door.

"Right, Heather." We laughed.

In my packing adventure I found the one the only the amazing WONDER SOCK. He helped me pack for a few hours. haha.

I think it's Wondersock, my bubble wrap rug, and, of course, the crazy icelanders that really made people question my sanity today. I had fun. They enjoyed laughing at me. Life is beautiful.

What's left to do? Well... I packed every article of clothing aside from what I am wearing now and what I will wear tomorrow in a HUGE garbage bag. It's very heavy. I think I will let Sarah try to carry it down the stairs. Aside from packing up the stereo and laptop I have the extreme joy of excavating my corkboards and seeing the layers of pictures that have accumulated over the year.

In other news: The Langley Value Village that burned down last summer is having its grand opening tomorrow! Catherine and I are going to bike there in the morning. Biking and thrift store shopping! What could be better? (Well, obviously, biking, reading, writing, thrift store, photography, Adrianne, and the ZOO)
