Just Look Over Your Shoulder

So after taking two absolutely horrific finals for AP psych and then math (which both worry me a tad), I'm done. I've finished it all. And now all that's left is a ceremony. Then those metaphorical doors will open, and I am free.

Only the edges of this has hit me so far. I can't quite believe it yet. And the full force of feeling that I'm truly done with this chapter in my life has yet to overwhelm me. It has come close a few times today:

When Sarah gave me her wonderful present.
When Barathi literally ran to me in the hallway for a hug.
When Abby hugged me and told me not to leave.
While listening to the CD that Rebecca made me and our group of friends. Almost every song makes me want to cry.

I know I have the whole summer left here before I actually leave. But Sunday is the literal end, and August is the true beginning, and everything in between is just the waiting. And yet I hope to make this a really amazing summer, even if half of it is in preparation for the year to come.

One of the songs on Becca's CD is "You'll Be In My Heart" from Tarzan. I completely forgot how wonderful this song is, for so many reasons, and I have listened to it quite a few times this afternoon. It makes me happy and want to cry all at once.
