Last Goodbye

So, I just dropped my dad off at the airport. That was the last of my goodbyes. I hate goodbyes! Everybody hates goodbyes, but if you know me....I REALLY HATE GOODBYES!! But, it was quick goodbye and a lot of tears on the way home. It is my second day here and I still cannot believe I am actually here. The traffic and driving here is unreal. It's hard to find parking...much like Boulder on the hill. But there's so much going on here. It's an exciting feeling. It is my first time away from both my parents. I can't just drive down the road for hugs and dinner anymore. That is a strange feeling for me. It's a scary feeling for me. There's still a longing to see those of you back home. A feeling I know will linger in my mind for as long as I am away. But I have definitely realized how amazing communication and technology is these days. I have talked with all my best friends through cell phones, e-mail, blogs, and text messaging. It gives me comfort. Two days in LA down....exactly how many more to go...still a mystery.
