The End is Nigh

I'm so close to being done with this term that I can taste it. I know my posting has been sparse, so here's the deal: The last week or two have practically been hell with the insane amounts of scholastic work and stress. Add on top of school stuff the whole matter of moving, and the stress level only went up.

I thought for sure I'd snap, but I didn't have any serious stress-related incidents. How great is that?

Now, I'm less than a week from moving 3000 miles back to the far corner of the continental States. I'm looking forward to it. Leaving my friends here behind is going to suck, though.

I'm sure there is more to say, and I will try to do that in due time, but I'm ready to crash. Time to relax. Maybe even play some Neverwinter Nights (which is amazing).

The News

I promised an update would come to explain away the vagueness of my last post. Well, this is that update. I won't get into the fine details this time around, truth be told I'm the most stressed and exhausted I've been in over a year right now, but here's the big deal.

I'm moving back to Washington in two and a half weeks. For many reasons, it is the best option available to me. It sucks royally that I'll be leaving my friends behind, and I've come this close to staying purely for the sake of being with them, but I'm sad to say that there seem to be bigger issues in play.

The nice thing is that relationships can and do survive long distance. I don't feel particularly less close to my family than I did four months ago despite the three thousand miles between us. Likewise, I know that friendships can be kept up over distance. True, it won't be as easy, but it is doable, and I intend to do just that.

There are probably a million things I could talk about right now, but the pressures of this school week are hitting me hard right now, so I'll have to write about whatever else in the not-too-distant-future.

Adieu.
