I never thought this moment would ever actually come. No, it wasn't the season premiere of 'Glee' (although this was very exciting too). Tonight was my last ever undergraduate exam. French. I guess I should be very excited, and in some way I am, but it was sort of anticlimactic. I still have two papers left to edit, after all. And those are kind of a big deal and worth more than the exam. Nevertheless, the time of sitting down in the giant gym and writing for three hours until your entire arm goes numb (makes me miss the days of first year when it was just the hand that went numb) is now behind me. Frankly, at this moment I don't really care how I did, I'm just happy I'm done.
But I had a bit of an identity crisis last night. Once I realized that I'm so close to being done and I don't know whether I'll be in the area or not next year, I started thinking about all the things I'll miss about Nipissing specifically. I've put them in a bit of a list. To anyone who might feel offended, they are in no particular order. It is 1 am after all.
1) Frosh Week - It became so much a part of my life, I can't imagine not being sleep-deprived for a week before school starts. I'll be going through withdrawal for sure.
2) The Wall food - Never one for the club scene, I will truly miss afternoons of hanging out in the Wall eating delicious delicious food and enjoying a beer or two. They are wonderful people there and they will be dearly missed. Most especially, their fries.
3) My profs - Call me a dork all you want, I love my history department and I've become very close friends with some of them. They are all wonderful people and I will genuinely miss not only learning from them but having them as friends as well.
4) Model NATO - I can't believe how much I will miss this group. Spending a weekend with people who became such wonderful friends and meeting so many interesting and fun people while getting a really amazing experience in Ottawa is an opportunity few get to enjoy.
5) Nature - I love everything about our campus. I love that it backs onto a giant forest with bears and wildcats (neither of which I have seen in my four years here, although I made friends with some deer in first year). I love that we have a pond. I even love the groundhogs that live on the hill next to the student centre hallway. Nature is a huge part of my life and I love being surrounded by it.
There are a million other things that I can think of that I will miss, and I may post them later. For now, my OCD has finally calmed down and I can finally stop dusting and organizing my room and just go to bed. Adieu.
