Road Trippin'

Well, I didn't tell him anything last night. There really wasn't a good opportunity. There wasn't time to have a long, drawn-out conversation (even though it wouldn't necessarily have been long and drawn-out). I will wait until the time feels right.

He kept telling me how much he is going to miss me this weekend. Which was nice to hear. At one point, I felt like he was saying it for my benefit, rather than because he actually meant it, but I believe that he will miss me. And I will miss him.

So now, I have a few hours to finish packing, then it's off for a nice 9-11 hour car ride. I am looking forward to this weekend, but I am also nervous. I am always a little nervous when I travel, but this is harder than traveling with family or friends. We are a bunch of classmates (who don't know each other well) and a professor, all at each other's mercy in terms of bathroom breaks in the car, quiet at bedtime, coordinating showers in the morning, etc. The girl I am rooming with in the hotel is an acquaintance. We asked to room together. I like her, and I am sure she doesn't have any strange living habits... but you never can tell. But really, it is the long car ride that I am dreading the most. I will try not to worry about it. Take it as it comes. I am excited about the trip itself. It is right up my alley academically, and I will have the chance to meet some famous figures in my field. It will be a once in a lifetime opportunity. I want to make the most of it.

Off to finish getting ready. Goodbye until Monday!
