If walls could talk

I am done with school!!!!!!!! It feels great. I've been busy. I have packed all day today. It has been hectic and annoying. Tonight as I sit down I realize a lot of the reason it has been this way is because that is how I wanted it. I didn't want to think about it all because I didn't want to hear what these walls had to say.... I am no good at change. 

my bedroom

These walls once full of pictures and color are now bare. This room has seen the best times and the worst. It has been a safe haven on nights I am scared and lonely. A place to be alone. There have been so many happy memories in this room. It has heard joyous giggles and sad cries. In this room I have gotten good news and bad. I've had phone conversations that lasted all night and I have had naps that lasted all day. I love this room.

the dining room

You can't tell anymore but this room is the dining room. A table and chairs have now been replaced with boxed up mementos. This room has seen good meals mostly made by me ;) and bad meals mostly made by Emily.We have sat around the table with friends and talked about everything other the sun. That table has seen countless hours of homework!

Emily's room

And this room... where that stranger who became a friend lived all these years. Just a wall away from me. Always there when I needed her, usually sitting on the bed doing homework or talking on the phone. The room where the hairdryer loudly blows for at least an hour every single morning. Where ants got into the bed and so my 100 pound roommate threw her bed all the way across the room in a mad fit.

there is so much more I could say... but for now I am going to watch Father of the Bride with Emily. Tomorrow I have rehearsal and a manicure and more packing. AND THEN Saturday my family will be here and I will graduate. Oh happy, happy day!!! :) All that being said, I am going to miss these walls.
