my flight left at seven-twenty. i got to the airport around five, so i was waiting for a couple hours. i felt more sad leaving this way. like, the separation was more exaggerated when i left by plane than the times i've driven out here. and even when i leave for school by plane in january, it doesn't feel as pronounced. don't know why that's the case.

all my stuff is still in storage and i don't think i'll be able to get to any of it. i don't have a car and i don't want to ask. probably going to end up sleeping on a bare asylum mattress. my room does feel big though. the closets are walk-in with shelves lining both sides. the dressers are in there. i moved the beds to make the room more symmetrical. the bathroom is clean and suprisningly colder than the rest of the room. four windows, so a lot of natural light. full-body mirror, which i haven't had before. picked the left side of the room, which i liked better. don't think my roommate will mind too much
