Goodbye My Friend
So you just know I am currently singing the Spice Girls song of the same name as this post title to myself. Ahem.
Events of today were far too grave to deserve a Spice Girls singalong. Alice and Charlotte had been roadtrip buddies for most of the journey, and this afternoon they both went on their separate ways: Alice flew to San Francisco to meet up with her parents and do some sightseeing before she goes to England, and Charlotte is taking the train -Albuquerque to Vancouver BC (!)- to visit with Hannah, before she too goes back to England. It was really awful to say goodbye to these two lovely English women. Obviously I will see them again, but not only were they a lot of fun on the roadtrip, but I've realised just how much of a happy fixture of this year they have been. It honestly felt weird if I didn't see either of them all day. Charlotte especially, being my Anna Mann dorm buddy, was always around to share the business of the day with; very pleasant tradition. Gah, I got very choked up seeing them off one after another. I was really so lucky to have them as my fellow English exchange girls this year.
Methods to combat the departure melancholia included listening to Toxic by Britney very loudly in the car many times, (including impromptu dance parties in the back seat), and watching Spiderman 3 this evening in an attempt to stupefy ourselves with a dumb action movie (unfortunately it was weird, and shit). These things almost worked.
I'd better leave it here before I get emotional again. (Get away from me, emotions!) Oh, by the way, I have booked my plane home, I get back to England on the 24th June, mark your diaries.

Aww, leaving the people you've had the best time of your life with really sucks :( I'm desperately trying to get 'Goodbye' in my head but only managing Mama or Viva Forever...v.annoying!
Hope you have a fabulous last month, i'm sorry i'm going to miss you coz i'm going to New Zealand in 10 days (woop!!!) but we'll have another big reunion party at the end of summer :D
Right... i should be revising, 1 more exam to go ever!
Yes, yes Spider-Man 3 was a bit shit, wasn't it? Here's hoping that's the last we see of our Friendly Neighbourhood Emo-Man.
23rd of June: Buy A Night at the Museum
24th of June: Go to Susie's house.
Can't wait! Does he do a dance with the museum exhibits?
It was awful to say goodbye to the friends. Thank goodness I have another month, not that I ain't eager to get back to England too...
