My sister leaves on Friday with my parents, and has yet to fully pack everything she is taking. And I'm not talking about packing the car and waiting, but actually packing. She has the largest collection of clothing in my family (more than my mother, who has been "collecting" for many years now), and even though we packed an entire trunks worth of clothing, she still has all her tee shirts/tops, skirts, dresses, shorts and jeans to go. She claims that she doesn't know what she will have to wear, so she wants to wait to pack it, but we are getting down to the wire. Is this her passive way of trying to put off actually leaving? She is the first of her friends to leave for school, and seems to want to spend every waking minute with them. And here is the selfish me-I want to spend time with her too. So I wish she would stay home and pack with me rather than go out and do whatever with her friends.
I remember being so excited for college. I couldn't wait to go, to meet new people, to start over again. Which probably stems from my less than stellar senior year. My sister is much more of a social butterfly than I ended up being, and has had the same group of friends (plus two over the years) since kindergarten. Her school experience up until now has been much different than any of the other children in our family. The rest of us were ready to leave behind what we had, and she has something so strong and positive that it must be hard for her to let go.
On another note, I also have to say, it took about one day for me to get nervous about my phone interview. I am so ready to have a job and be a productive member of society. I am sure that once I actually get a job I will look back on these days of nothing-ness with envy and desire, but as of right now, spending my days not so much relaxing as being lazy, I need to have a schedule and something to do.
