I took my last test today at Onondaga. It's an odd feeling, knowing that I need never set foot on campus again. I'm more or less set up at UB for the fall, so I wasn't even distracted by that. I made a lot of friends up here, which is weird because I never thought I would have fallen in with such a lot. I met them on accident, really. I was introduced by one of my skeevy acquaintances, and I was adopted pretty quick. Long story short, I made some friends.
And now I'm half nostalgic. When I left campus today, I had the image of a Ron Howard movie ending, where everyone leaves in a different direction while he narrates what happens to everyone. I don't even like Ron Howard. (See what movie culture does to people?)
Leaving Syracuse is going to be even stranger. I was born here. I've always been the one to watch people come and go, and I always still had the ones that were going to stay awhile longer while I got to know the ones that just arrived. Now I'm going in cold. Definitely an odd feeling. Last time I did that was in Utah, and the culture shock was bad enough. (Water doesn't come from the sky in Utah, it comes out of the ground from metal things. They always make sure to put sprinklers that spray 180 degrees right at the edge of the lawn to make sure they water the roads, too. Just ignore that drought, we'll be fine)
