The Firsts of the Lasts

*Going out to eat at Wings-n-more with the group.

 

*Seeing Spiderman 3.  The movie was good and I enjoyed it.  We also hung around outside for a little while afterwards like normal, and it was something I often used to take for granted but now that the end of my time at TAMU approaches, I'm realizing how much fun it is!  As we began to part of the evening, I started to realize item 3:

 

*Realizing how good my friends are, and how much I will miss them all.  Some are graduating, some are going to camp for the summer, and some are going home.  Most importantly to me, I'm realizing how close I am to graduating and how close I am to them.  This evening I said goodbye to the first group of friends that I won't see until I visit TAMU again.  It was the first of the lasts with people.  Marshall left for home after dinner.  Stephen headed home to Houston after the movie.  Shelley is headed home tomorrow morning.  I only recently got to know Stephen a lot better and I wish I had been a bit quicker at it.  He and I have a lot in common and we've had a lot of fun recently just chatting both in person and on the phone.  Marshall, Shelley and I have had a lot of fun rock climbing and playing racquetball as well as hanging out as some of the more regulars of UCM, and at church.  There are far too many experiences to list here with all of them, and I will miss them.  In the upcoming days there will be a lot more friends leaving.  One positive for now is that at least a few of my friends (Tara minimum!) will still be around for the summer!
