Today was a good day. My mind felt clear for once, and it's been a long time since I've felt that way. After writing an exam, the relief you feel is amazing, like you have completely emptied your brain, and now it can just melt away until you force it to think again.
I felt happy too. I will miss Guelph, the way the city makes me feel, and the people here who have become like my family. I will miss all the simple things too. The Guelph buses have been a crucial part of my life, they take you anywhere, anytime, for free! I can't imagine not walking through campus, even through the slush, rain, wind, and the deadly uneven bricks that have tried to kill me over the years, the university is so beautiful. When the sun does decide to shine, I swear the place glows. In Guelph people seem to hold doors open for others, even if it's not at all convenient. The school is filled with smiling and approachable people, and it just feels like home.
Four years have passed, if you are like me change is frightening, but it is also inevitable. Optimism is key, and the future is bright. You say goodbye and I say hello...hello, hello :)

A term of stress is almost worth it for that feeling of relief when you walk out of the exam. That's actually one of the things I miss the most about not being in school this term.
