Everyone is Leaving

I just said goodbye to Burt, and suddenly it has hit me. 50% of my mates are vanishing into the real world. Next year I am going to have a somewhat limited group of friends. Hopefully I will make some more friends, but it took me a year and a half to make friends with a group of people I got on with, so will I really be able to make a suitable group of friends again within a year?

Somewhere in all this confusion a part of me has also realised that next year I will be doing the same thing. I will also be leaving Aberystwyth and heading for the real world. That in itself is enough to scare the hell out of me, and at the same time enthrall me.

The flat is deadly quiet too, I think there's only two of us in here at the moment and one of the other inhabitant is leaving tomorrow. There's no noise outside from the other flats. It's quite eery.

I suddenly feel quite lonely.
