One week?!

I have one week left in Canada. Actually, seeing as I stayed up late working on a paper and it has already changed until Thursday, I am down to less than one week. In someways it seems as if I've been here forever, and in other ways I can't believe how quickly my time has flown by.

Between the stress of midterms and the bitter cold (the wind chill is zero degrees, fahrenheit, right now), and wanting to see my family I am counting down the hours until I get home - but I keep getting caught at unexpected moments with things I know I'll greatly miss.

This morning as Hannah and I were laying in our beds discussing how we'd much rather sleep in than get up and face the loads of studying and papers we have, I realized that Hannah and I only have three mornings of routine chats - most likely only two as we both have finals on Saturday. And as Teal and Kyra barged into my room announcing dinner, I didn't let myself think about how few more times that would happen.

Kyra leaves tomorrow morning, Emily heads out Saturday, Hannah is setting off for Quebec early Sunday, and Rachel, Teal, and I will take a taxi to the airport together next Wednesday. Next semester I'll be in Scotland and Emily will have transferred to school in Wyoming. Then Kyra goes abroad, Teal graduates, Rachel and Hannah go abroad, etc.

Although the things I'll miss here are in no way limited to the people - they are what I'll miss the most. So this post is for Hannah, Kyra, Emily, Rachel, and Teal - and all the ridiculous times we've had this semester:
