so jessica came for one last visit before she leaves for delaware. and she stopped by to say goodbye. so we stood in the kitchen and talked about all of the spontaneous weekend visits we would have and hugged, and eventually she made it out the door. and kristin and i stood there being sad for about two seconds, and i opened the door and ran after her and gave her a big bear hug and we all stood in the hallway and cried and all that girly stuff. oh wow, i'm gonna miss her so much. oh gosh!!! i just realized i'm down to one (ish) coffee buddy! oh, that's just not ok. i need to start recruiting. and no more moe's. or staring at her catalogued list of movies for 45 minutes trying to decide what to watch. or having conversations about the most morbid things we can think of (i guess that can be done via phone, but it's just not the same without the funny faces). at least she's gonna be near philadelphia... one more excuse to get up there (because i needed that...)

so i'm supposed to be studying, and don't you love those "i have two papers due tomorrow that i haven't started" realizations? yeah, because i just had one. but they're short. so it's ok... ? oh well, not the first time :-P

and can i just say that if gretchen was not one of my most favorite people on earth and if i hadn't been promising to come this weekend for the past couple o' months... i would be going home. as fast as i could. :-) happy happy happy

i'm thirsty
