A Little Insight

Reality had finally hit me on Thursday night while I was out for some wings with my coworkers. After saying goodbye to my boss (that was very difficult), I realized how soon it was until I would be gone from this place. I just want to say what an amazing women she is, and how much I have appreciated her soo much - words would not do her justice right now! I hope everyone in their lives experiences what it is like to work with someone so great! ...
One by one people started leaving, and I was left with my two former program assistants...I am not very good at goodbyes, I actually like to avoid the topic. But since I have been trying to stay in the present and think about everything that I am going through - it was hard to sit still with them. I can remember wondering what this day would be like, what it would feel like, and I just can't believe that I am here now. It was always so far away, something that I wasn't able to touch, to really know. And now that I am here with just a few more days left, I can tell you that it is an uncomfortable feeling to have.
I left the restaurant with my girls and made my final goodbyes and best wishes to them and headed home for some alone time. I needed to be by myself, and just think. The next day would be my last at Maryland, my last day with the people that I have grown to love and to know. I really hate goodbyes!

Friday was a great day, and fantastic way to end my job! I am so thankful for this experience...I learned a lot about myself and now I am ready to begin my journey!

My parents arrive in 3 days to pack me up and head to their home. I fly out on the 25th...13 days from now! I begin my job on the 28th..........WOW!!!
I still don't know how I am going to teach yet. I have material, but I don't have any information regarding age, level, or how many I will have at one time. This is a little crazy. I plan to just roll with what I have for now!

Packing and cleaning with consume my weekend! Here's to sleeping in!!
