Goodbye Rochester, Hello Norfolk

I'm leaving home. For good. It's a really scary thought. But it's finally happening. I'm moving on Wednesday back to Norfolk. I know it's for school, but I don't plan on coming back to Rochester anymore.

This summer I lost one of my best friends (not to death, but as a friend). It's kind of sucked but now I'm just over it and moving on. It actually still hurts a lot, but our paths are moving in opposite directions. The only thing about it that pisses me off is that our parents have stopped talking too. I don't know if it's because of our relationship, but I still think it's annoying.

Had a major breakthrough today! The ferrets are litter trained! It was so nice to finally have them poop in the litter box and not wherever they chose. It'll make taking care of them a lot easier. When I get down to VA I'm going to buy them a playpen type thing and these fun tubes that they can run around in and play!

I'm really going to miss my cousin. If you're reading this you probably know about the relationship I have with her and it's gotten even better this summer. She's coming to visit August 15-19 though, so I'm really excited about that. Nate's coming too (her boyfriend) and it'll be great becuase then she can meet my friends and we can hang out!

I'm also really going to miss Kelly. She's coming down with me Wednesday and that's going to be awesome! We're going to Busch and the beach and she's going to help me set up the house and my room. I'm really excited and not about living the house. It's going to bring lots of responsabilities that I'm not looking forward to and force me to grow up I guess. Not that I have a problem with growing up, but this makes kind of official.

The other thing I'm really excited to leave behind is all my family's drama. It's gotten so bad that I might not go to my grandma's house for Christmas Eve. My family claims to be such Christian people, yet they don't hesitate to turn on their own family and instantly forget what they preach. Granted December is still 4 months away, so things may change, but it's ridiculous.

Well that's all I've got for now. Tomorrow I'm going to lunch with my friend to say bye. I'm not as sad about goodbyes this time. Part of me just doesn't care anymore. Oh well.

PEACE
