Out of There

Today I turned in my keys and checked out of school. It seemed so anti-climatic since the campus was virtually empty, but I waved goodbye anyway.

Had lunch with friends who lamented how hard it will be for them once I leave. I hope they realize that this is all very difficult for me and I will miss them more than they could possibly miss me. The idea that I am going off on a new adventure and leaving them behind is immeasurably sad for me, as my new adventure is so fraught with uncertainty and drama and boredom and ... uncertainty.

I am already planning for the next school year, as I always do as soon as the last one is nearly over, but this time summer vacation is 14 months long.
