Bittersweet ends & exciting beginnings

Tomorrow morning, I'm moving to Boston. My summer work is almost done, although I'll be winding it down and putting the finishing touches on it via email with my co-teachers, my students and my supervisor. It's been a wonderful 5 weeks - I've had a lot of fun and I think we've all learned a lot. The reality of leaving this place, of at long last being so far away from even my surrogate family, is really starting to sink in. Physically, I may be all packed up and ready to hit the road, but emotionally, the cool facade feels flimsy. I'm looking forward to all that this year will bring, but I'm going to miss this place and my people. That's all for now, folks.
