Goodbyes

The first week of my last semester as an undergrad is officially over. Ironically enough the most interesting things that happened this week are completely unrelated to school.

Today sucked slightly because it is starting to sink in that Jade won't be back for another 18 months. At first I felt like she was just on vacation or whatever, but slowly it is sinking in. I believe I am getting too good at saying goodbye. My first best friend Matthias moved to San Diego just a few months after our friendship started to become concrete. He has been there for the past 8 years but we are still great friends. Candice moved to Dallas- still best friends. I moved to Salt Lake and left behind so many valued friendships.... and now Jade is bound for Taiwan. I still feel like she is just going to come back and tell us all she played a very big joke... but I called the MTC (Missionary Training Center for those of you non mormons who don't know the lingo)for her box number today and they gave it to me. Is the MTC allowed to participate in a "punk'd"? I dunno...

I am just glad I have had the opportunity to have such amazing friends in the course of my life! Be grateful for what you have right?
