Its funny how, when you announce to the world that you are leaving. Everyone you haven't seen in over six months to a year, want to hang out with you all a sudden. It doesn't matter why you stopped talking to them in the first place. Whether you kept inviting them to hang out with you and they declined each offer, so eventually you stop asking if they wanted to hang out and you lose contact. Or in my case you don't really live close enough to hang out all the time. Either each party has to travel 20 minutes (which in the city, this is a long drive) to see each other or make plans, around our busy schedules, to hang out. Which can be troublesome. Or you just get to caught up in your life that you forget you have friends that live nearby, that you can hang out with.
See most of my friends in the area I met at Ecola Bible School in Cannon Beach, Oregon. Probably, well so far anyway, the best two years of my life. You create a special bond with the people who attend Ecola. You sort of, become like family with most. So when you go from seeing them each day to barely seeing them (well the people who living near by) at all, it stinks. And getting a chance to see them for a couple of hours before you leave is a blessing. Its a good time reminisce about the old days. It can be slightly awkward. But for the most part I have learned that it can be fun and worth it.
