You're on the ride. You might as well open your eyes.

Well okay, so the past week has been incredibly difficult.

The Kelly Clarkson concert, though, was amazing. I LOVED it. I think my sister had fun too, so that was good, plus Karlie, and Laura, and I got to spend some quality box time.

But later that night...was real tough. Like I said in previous entries, Laura has been my best friend since 5th grade. And I have currently been talking to her online about all of her friends that she's making at Notre Dame. I've never really had to tell her that I miss her. But I do tell her that now, cause I do miss her. But she's obviously having fun and kicking ass down there.

The next night...may have been even harder. Ugh. The whole day I was just like keeping myself from crying...and every once in a while I would kind of break down. I helped Andrew pack all day and we just kind of ran last minute errands. Later on, he had everyone over. We watched Wolohan home videos, which provided more entertainment than a few of the funniest movies that I've seen. "And here's another one for you!"..."Dad, watch him!" "It's okay Conor, it doesn't count."

But yeah, rough night. Yuck, I don't even really want to think about it.

But I miss him, too. A lot.

It's weird to me that I won't be seeing either of them until Homecoming, which is like a month away.

And the State people + Balls leave Wednesday, thus Tuesday night is my last night with them. Ugh.

So yeah, Thursday night was really sad.

Friday was good though. Dr. Sonntag invited me to go and observe Jeff Sonntag getting his wisdom teeth out. It might sound kind of sick to some people, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Haha. It was interesting.

Then I drove to Ann Arbor to meet my roommate. She was really cool, meeting her makes me super excited. She's really cute, and seems realyl easy to get along with. Her and I are quite different I think, she's really into theater and music and dance and stuff, and never really played any sports or anything. Plus she came from a huge school. But that's a good thing I think. Cause it like gives us things to talk about...and I don't know. I'm excited.

That night was hilarious. It was Lindsay and Scott's last night, so it was sad...but I had a ton of fun with Jenna and Beth. Hilarious girls.

It was hard to say goodbye to Linds...but I know she will be amazing at Central. She's a fun girl, and she has so much potential to be like incredible someday.

It was really tough to say goodbye to Scott. I cried a little bit. I'll miss him a lot. He's such a good friend. There's like never any pressure with him, he's SO understanding and easy to talk to. I can tell him everything, and he just always is such a sweetheart. I'll miss him like crazy.

Saturday...I layed around all day in my PJs...and eventually Jenna came over and we realized that Saginaw was beginning to suck since everyone was leaving. Haha, we had no friends.

Karlie and Jenna and I ate over at Karlies, and then we all went to Max's.

But Beth and I left and went out to Gordon's for a bonfire with Tom and Scott. Good times. Gordon is really funny, and I very much enjoy spending time with those boys. They're fun.

Sunday I picnicked with Jenna and Balls, and then we did a little shopping. Went to meet the team to see Dougie...weird. I felt sort of awkward.

Then we went to Lauren's for the big pong tournament. It was fun. Team Wolverine (Natalie and Lisa) showed their stuff, we were close to being in the finals. And we beat Team Spartan (Shannon and Nikki) which was amazing. Haha. Go Blue.

It made me a little bit sad to see Logan playing with Garrett. I miss Team Looby. Or at least one half of it.

I'm starting to gather some of my things and get organized with all of my stuff that I'm taking.

I'm not so sad about leaving. I'm actually really looking forward to it, even though I will miss my family.

But it is sad seeing other people go, just because you're not going to see them for so long.

Anyway...long entry.
