The first little period of having an 18-year-old roommate is nearly over. He's got next week off for Spring Break, and needs to get the house back in order for his parents' return from Brazil. Then, apparently, things will get very busy and he'll be finishing the school year, going to church camp, visiting Brazil, and generally being elsewhere for the entire summer. It sounds like I won't see much of him until September.
He got disgusted with me last night because I was feeling sentimental.
Well I did know this day was coming, and he is, after all, returning in the Fall, but I'll miss him very much. Yes, he's inconvenient. No, he's not a constant companion—often he retreats to his room to spend the evening on the phone and on instant messaging. Often, when I begin to share some priceless bit of wisdom, he reminds me that I've already said it twice in the last month. But I'll still miss him very much.
