It's not over yet, but I am getting through it. I thought it would be terrible. I thought it would be so hard. I thought I would be so stressed out that I would lose it.
I have not lost it. Yet.
It has been pouring rain all day, and so cold that I had to put socks on again.
It was the last day for the seniors. The kids (now adults) that I have worked with for four years, my entire career at the high school, are graduating on Sunday.
I only cried a few times today. Not too bad...
I had to pull an entire article out of my ass at the last minute. One of those stories that involves calling several people and driving somewhere for a picture and hoping that everyone answers their phones or calls you back before you have to write the damn thing. I have it almost done, and I am not stressed. It will get done tonight.
Sometimes I think my editor is testing me to see what I can really handle.
I can't tell you everything that happened today. I am going to keep the best parts to myself.
I still can't believe I am leaving these kids, and they don't even know it. I can't bear to tell them.
Favorite Student is no longer a student. I guess he is just Favorite now. :)
It's all so bittersweet. Hopefully not just the end of one thing, but the beginning of something new and beautiful.
Back to work!
