People leave

I can't decide what to do with this blog now that I'm not required to write on it for Creative Writing or Adv. C.W classes.  I have so many blogs already, I don't really know if I should keep this one up or go back to using my original one.  I think I'll keep using this one, at least to record my trip home and then I'll re-evaluate.

Well, it's the day after grad.  People are leaving.  Actually, Julie already left.  She took off yesterday during grad because she had to get back to her PT clinical in Michigan.  Luckily, she got away before all the rain and craziness in Nashville, although she did have to drive through about four hours of really, really heavy rain later on in her trip, but I got a text later on last night saying she had gotten back safely, so that's good.

My uncle left early this morning to go visit his cousin in Oklahoma so we said good-bye to him last night.  And my grandparents flew out of Chattanooga this morning too back home.  We said good-bye to them last night too, but we'll be seeing them when we get back to BC.

Around 11 a.m., I drove Jodi to Groome Transportation so she could catch the shuttle to Atlanta to get her flight back to Alberta so now she's gone too and then, several hours later, Bryn drove Cherry to the airport to fly home to BC.  So now it's just my immediate family still here.

I worked a bit on grading more newsletters today and also started working on packing in earnest now.  We're going to try to leave sometime (my dad says early, but I know it won't be until at least afternoon) tomorrow.

Jonathan and I went to a wedding tonight.  Adrienne, the copyeditor for the Accent, got married in the UTC chapel and I was invited and could bring a guest.  I wore the same dress as I did on Sabbath at church, but I doubt anyone except for my family and Jonathan knew.  It was a nice wedding, but there was a little ways to walk from the parking lot to the chapel and then back again.  And then Jonathan and I got lost trying to find the reception place.  We saw another car trying to find the place too.  Finally, we just ignored the directions on the program and used Jonathan's phone to find the right place.  Ahhh, how nice to have technology when we need it.  About halfway through the reception, I got really tired and I also started to worry about the newsletters I still had to grade, so we left and went back to my apartment where I graded for a couple hours.

I've actually made a significant dent in them now, so hopefully I can get the last few done tomorrow morning.  I think Ms. Chamberlain needs to get them soon and look over them herself to get the grades in on time so I have to do that first thing.  But now I'm dead and so I'm going to bed.  I can grade more tomorrow.
