Leaving ... is difficult

I shouldn't ever look at College snaps..... I just have to start once and there's no end to all sentiments that come rushing in. Interestingly enough , and I know everyone who has tasted college life would say this..... How come I cursed it so much when I was actually there. Now the roads, canteens, everything seems so close to heart ....from thousands of miles away.
So I am at a college/university/school now too. How come its so different! Or is it that places leave their flavor only after you have left them and gone ! I Have always talked about how hot Tucson is ..... well that other day , while in the cat tran shuttle, it had rained ...... there was the smell of dried mud soaking in the rain, and Tucson looked beautiful. So much so, that I actually felt bad that I was going to leave it in a year. For all these days, all I have ever said is when am I going to leave Tucson.
Guess all I want is to hold on to something familiar, and when the time comes to change ...I resist with all my might. I loved Seattle, no doubt, and I should be happy to be going back there. At a point of time the crowded streets, too many people of Seattle used to remind me of home. Now I think I am kind of getting used to the empty Tucson roads, the hardly meeting any people when you walk to the university, the soaring Catalinas in the north and their play of shadows with the sun...... :)
So typically me ! Just when the time to leave Tucson is drawing near, I feel I will really miss it.

I seem to be living from assignment to assignment these days. The course load has exploded and all I can keep in mind is when the next assignment is due. Its fun ... sometimes not my kind but. I like the kind of fun which comes with less work. And I am sure the sentences are making lesser and lesser sense, I am not a good stay-awake-after-sleeping-only-4 hours kind of person.

So cheers Tucson ! and adieus !
