Bittersweet

I am so so so ready to be DONE with school! I finished a project for Tuesday, a paper for today, and I have two papers (for the same awful class), a final, and a quiz and then I am DONE!! I have no clue where to start for the two papers I have to write. I dread this class and don't think I have learned anything. AND there is no course evaluation because this is the last time it is being taught so I can't even let the professor know what I thought! GAh! Okay, rant over... :)

I am currently sitting in class, clearly not paying attention, planning out my trip to the library this afternoon before I go to work. I have decided to just jump into the work I have to do instead of putting it off because I know it is going to be the last thing I want to do this weekend (it's supposed to be sunny and 80!!!). Deep breath. I can do this.

All I have thought about lately is how I want to be done and to be home, but then yesterday I was reminded that I would be leaving my job for the summer too. I love my job. I love the people I work with, the kids, the daily schedule, the opportunities I have. I only have six more days left and I know I will be very sad to leave :( Yesterday I was taking things down from the ceiling so I was standing on a chair (about 10" off the ground) and two little girls in my class became very concerned telling me to "BE CAREFUL!" They were saying it over and over and telling me not to fall. I reassured them I would be okay but thanked them for their worry...however, Ali didn't believe me. She dropped her book and flew to my side informing me that she would hold my leg so I wouldn't fall. She wrapped her little arms around my leg (basically making it more difficult because now I was worried that she would get hurt if I actually did fall) but I know she had all the best intentions. It's so cute to see a 3-year old act with such concern for another person. Sometimes hanging out with 10 or more 3-year olds can get overwhelming and make me want to pull my hair out, BUT I wouldn't want it any other way :) I love those kiddos and I know they think I'm pretty cool too.

I now have two different countdowns going....one is a countdown of happiness to be done with the school year and to be going home for the summer; the other is a countdown of sadness because I will miss my kids and my job a ton while I'm gone.
