and to think, this is far more stable than my family home ever was.

one roomie had to suddenly leave yesterday morning because of a terrible family tragedy. my thoughts drift to her all the time; i didnt sleep much or well and dreamt only of her, and i could have sworn i saw her on the bus and on my way to classes. the cold, stormy day seemed fitting for such a somber occasion.

another roomie, whom i can count on one hand the number of times ive seen since she moved in, made a rare appearance this evening - to move out. she hasnt declared it as such, because she would actually have to talk to us to do so, but she has already taken two carloads of stuff out. we re not on bad terms at all, but i suppose that we havent been in the same room long enough to find out. so much for our great friend from last year.

so im eating way too much cocoa hazlenut spread and am updating instead of writing my second essay of the week.

at least i got some free pie and have been bonding with my last remaining roommate, who will have the house to herself for the week once i leave on thursday for ottawa.
