I'm done with school -- both of them (EHS and CSUS). It's strange to think that all those amazing students who have touched my life in the past three years are no longer going to be a daily fixture in my life. I know they're all going off to achieve great things, but it make me sad to think that I am most likely never going to see them again. Perhaps at their ten year high school reunion.... We'll see. It's very bittersweet. I mean, I'm really excited about marrying Mike this summer (obviously!), and going to Jamaica for our honeymoon. I'm also really looking forward to moving to Ohio and starting in the PhD program. It's scary though, and it sort of all hit me at once when I was at the EHS graduation that this is the end -- the definitive end -- of a very special chapter in my life. How strange that I may never teach in a high school again (or maybe I will -- you can never really know where life will take you), or set foot on the CSUS campus again, or see some of the people from EHS and CSUS again in my life. Endings are hard, even when the beginnings you're embarking on are exciting and desirable. This has definitely been a difficult ending for me. And very emotional. I will miss the Capay Valley and all of the beautiful people who live there. I may actually miss Woodland in the end, and especially the people I have forged friendships with. For now, I will busy myself with plans for the future and enjoy the remaining time I have in this community.
