This summer is definitely not going to be like last summer, and I don't even know if there are any chances of it coming close to being as amazing as last summer was. Aman sat in her apartment Friday night, as we finished packing up her car, and said it herself, "We'll never have a summer like that one again." Hmmm...
I think what adds to that thought is the simple fact that Aman is gone. California, then to St. Lucia for 18 months. Saturday morning was a difficult one, having to say goodbye, and watch her drive off. I did good at holding in the tears. That is until my mom called me 3 hours later and asked when Aman was leaving. When I said that she'd already left, she got real quiet and said, "Awww, I'm sorry". Yeah, I pretty much broke down on the phone. And seeing the girls that were still in town and no Aman made it kind of hard. But none the less, here I am. All I can do is sigh when things remind me of her. And it definitely doesn't make it any easier that I moved into the aparment next door to her old one.
Our last picture together...
There's something special about Aman and my friendship. She's different from other friends that I have had. I've seen her fight for friendships that didn't seem significant to others, but that to her meant the world. So I have faith that our friendship will be a lasting one. She's that little sister God didnt' give me. She already knows she has to be around when I get married (if I ever do) and when I have kids (again, if that ever happens). And we joke around that when we get old, and living in a nursing home, we'll still know how to have fun. We'll simply jump in our motorized scooters and race down the hall. LOL! It's just hard because it won't be the same not having her here, and being able to experience things together. But we'll still be able to share them with each other. And I'm certain we'll be there when important events come around in each of our lives.
It's time for changes now. The first has happened, friends leaving. Next is finding a job, which I don't really look forward to. Then starting up my final 4 classes, and graduating in August. I still haven't the slightest idea of what I'll be doing after graduation. One thing I do know is that four of us girls are getting together and taking a road trip to Cali to see Aman one last time before she heads out to the island. Won't be the last one for me, cause I'm going to do everything in my power to save up money to go visit her in St. Lucia. But if we have the chance to see her before she leaves, we are definitely taking it. It's going to be my personal graduation gift. And anyone considering giving me a gift, keep $$$ in mind. Baha.
I guess I'll have a bit more time now to blog more often. There's no one to keep me busy or entertained. Kelley told me last night to enjoy the quiet and relax. I honestly don't know if I can handle too much quiet. I love having people around. Heck, the first thing I thought of this morning was "Who could I possibly get to come over?" Oh well. I guess it's time to go take care of the job hunt. Although, seeing how nice it is outside, I'm thinking I might go to the pool instead.
