Amanda's Defense

Amanda defended her M.A. thesis yesterday. She was mundo freaking out before hand, of course, but she did fine.

A group of us - Amanda, her brother, her committee, two other faculty, and me, went out to dinner afterward to celebrate. It was hard to be chipper, though. For all that I'm happy for her, it really brings home the fact that this was the last real thing on her to-do list before she moves. Thursday, if all goes according to plan, is when she'll be packed up in her car and driving to meet her husband in the new place. Two days, and she's gone.

And here it seems like I was just getting used to having her around.

It's so hard to let a good friend go, even when you know it's the best thing. Don't feel wrong about being sad... she needs to know you'll miss her. :-)
