There comes a time in everyone's life when they pick up and leave the nest. For me, that time is 8/12/11 at 5:30AM. It's a very strange thing, moving, and it seems like it almost hasn't sunk in yet. I'm rather nervous about how absent minded I can get and I hope it doesn't screw up my chances or cause me to forget something I need.
But over all, it's really just another step in life and I don't think I'll really miss home too much. I'm bringing the most "significant" part with me, and I'm rooming with my best friend. Now all I have to do is remember to eat (sometimes a significant feat) and find a good balance of study, sleep, and internet.
