Saying Good-Bye

WOW..! What an emotional couple of days! My last day at work was Friday, April 15, 2011.  I have been on an emotional roller coaster full of excitement about the adventure that is awaiting us! At the same time I am sad about leaving my colleagues and students I worked with for the last couple of years.  We spent so much time together that I considered them almost like family.  Our days were busy but at the same time full of humor and teasing, which made the day and week go much faster! Thank you Deb, Lance, Elizabeth, Jacqueline, Talia and Abel!!  It was a great pleasure getting to know each and everyone of you and working alongside you!

 It has not been too difficult trying to empty out our one bedroom apartment, the hardest part for me was cleaning out my closet! I can not believe all the clothes that I’ve accumulated throughout the years!! I am finding clothes I hadn’t seen in a long time and not because they didn’t fit, it’s just that they were buried deep! I have packed boxes to give to my mother so that she can either give to my aunts who live in Mexico or put up in a yard sale and STILL I have so much to go through!  I never realized how attached I was to my “things”, especially my clothes and shoes and make-up and well, I think you get the picture!

Today was the first Monday, of the rest of my life! Even though we had a super busy weekend with packing and hanging out with friends and family I was able to get up at six am without the help of the DREADED alarm clock.  The one whose snooze button I’ve been beating and cursing at every morning during the work-week!
