Good-bye Carolina

I intended to leave Wake Forest, NC around 9:30 on Saturday night. I ended up leaving at 12:18 am Monday morning. Packing my stuff into my car took about as much time as i expected. But, i didn't plan for making three other trips to friends' houses, a dumpster, and the Sharing Shop. But alas, thanks to the help of my friend Candice, i got everything taken care of. I consider it a miracle of God that all of my stuff fit in my car. I did, however, leave two of my most valuable possessions with Candice: Hernando (my leopard Gecko) and my record player and vinyls. Seriously, as we piled everything outside my car i looked at the huge pile and said, "God, i'm gonna need you to pull a miracle for me on this one. Cause that ain't going in my car naturally." He delivered. Thankfully, He has provided me with the most amazing car ever. I know my 1987 Pontiac 6000 doesn't look very impressive, but it is the best all-round vehicle there is. (Car rant begins) Since it sits a little high off the ground it can handle far rougher terrain than most cars. Gas mileage is still better than an SUV or truck. It's six cylinders allow it to haul a stuffed car through the hills of West Virginia with ease. The bench seats make me feel like i'm traveling on a couch (comfy). Long trips are not a problem. And it transport six people in seat belts. Trunk space is huge. It is designed so simply that even i can handle most of the repairs and maintenance. And, it only cost $600 nearly seven years ago.(car rant ends)
I arrived in my hometown of Clarksburg, WV at 6:45 am. The drive was uneventful, but my cooler did fall on me multiple times. I spent nearly the whole trip talking to my two ex-girlfriends from Wake Forest. The first half, i talked to Katie, and the second half i talked to Candice. Both were really great conversations, and i can't think of a better way to end my time in North Carolina.

It was a great four years of learning, laughter, friendship, and growth. I'm curious to see if i will cross paths with any of my Wake Forest friends in the future. I hope so.
