Bittersweet...

I sit here in the midst of a mess on my last Saturday living in Pullman trying to pack and watching Fall Commencement. Just a few days ago I was so excited about leaving Pullman and moving back to the "big city", but I sit here now a bit torn. I guess you could say reality has hit! As I pack up my life here in Pullman I am also packing up a world of memories I never thought I'd have. I pack up some of the best friends I could have ever made. I pack up an experience I wouldn't trade for the world. I thought a Black College was what I wanted, but little did I know what I really needed was a small town college in the middle of the wheat fields. All the tests, projects, late nights, movies, nights spent outside the Beas (beasley coliseum), basketball games, football games, volleyball games, drunken nights, days working in the athletic department, trips to spokane, trips and nights in Moscow (Idaho), cage dances, wing nights, beer pong games, inside jokes and friends I will never forget.

I am excited to make the next step, but a little sad (hate to admit it) to leave behind this special place. I never knew Pullman would have such a hold on me. I have had some amazing times. I'm gonna miss my girls and our wild times like crazy. I'm really going to miss the two people that got me though sport management, Ashley and Rachel...without them I'm not sure I would have made it. As I go on in life I will always remember their support and their challenges that helped make me better.

Congrats to Rachel, Nicole (Rally), Linds, Darryl and all those others that commenced from WSU today....GO COUGS!!!!
