farewell Harnwell!
I may have set a personal move-out time record this year.
Having fallen asleep the night before due to sheer exhaustion from Commencement day, I woke up at around 6 in the morning to start packing up my room. Given the sheer amount of stuff I've accumulated over the past four years and my lack of containers to hold everything in, it was a minor miracle that I was able to move everything out by the noon deadline.
I'm always so grateful for my friends whenever it comes time for me to move. All I have to do is ask for help, and without fail, a small army of people will show up to help me load and carry all of my belongings. It would have taken at least an additional 3 - 4 hours of hard work and sweat to do everything myself, but with the help of my friends, I was able to get all of my stuff moved to my new place in a little under an hour. Their help also saved me from having to pay the exorbitantly high fines for not moving out by the deadline, which I definitely appreciated as well.
It's a shame that move-out was so rushed though. Having lived in Harnwell for the past two years, I feel like I should have had a brief moment of reflection with my packed-up room before I had to leave the building forever, but there just wasn't enough time. I vacated my room in a hurry to meet the move-out deadline, and I didn't get a chance to look back at what will most likely be the last school housing I will ever call home.
It's really not that big a deal, but it still would have been nice to get that sense of closure for this period of my life.
Given that I also had a flight to catch the next morning, I didn't have time to unpack everything after I moved into my new place either, so I just decided to leave everything in a gigantic unorganized pile until I got back to Penn for summer courses.
For now, I'm back in Tennessee to rest and be with my family for a week.
Even though it's going to be short, this is a much needed break. Maybe I'll finally be able to catch up on everything...
