The last day

Today is my last day in Portland. Mom and I are headed out tonight after work, to hopefully make it as far as Boise. I hate goodbyes. I've never been good at them, and I've never dealt well with change. A wise man told me something very helpful though: "It's not goodbye, just 'see you later'" That is a much easier way to look at things. I can't believe I'm going back to Rochester. I hope that it's the right thing. I think that when I get there and get acclimated it will be fine, but now it's a scary thing to leave everything and everyone that you know and love.
