And so here it goes...
I leave Milwaukee.. ... ...Tomorrow? It's hitting me like a ton of bricks at this specific moment. There are so many things I'm going to miss. I'm seriously considering moving back to Milwaukee after I graduate. Maybe spend the summer working for Gail, and then head down?
I met a girl here who makes me think and challenges me and expands the way I think. I love talking to her. I'm afraid conversations will be different when they're over the phone/text/IM then when we talk face to face and I feel like that's going to be a tragedy. As a bonus she's a good kisser and can make me laugh with out trying to hard. She's one of those rare people who is who she is in her zany, intelligent, care-free way. One of those people a lot of people would judge the first time they meet and dismiss, but you didn't for whatever reason and are so thankful for it.
I've decided to save up some money so I can send it to Katie, Danielle and Dana so they can come up to visit me and experience the "Yooper, Eh?" as they call it. :) We'll see how well that works. A job is important for this plan. I want to share the Nickle and it's peanut shell glory with them. (The scary part is how undeniably honest that statement is.)
Colin and Bridgette made me a going away dinner. Stuffed Chicken, potatoes, and asparagus for dinner with made-from-scratch brownies. I wish I spent more time with them this summer.
Today is my last day at PQ. Maggie made vegan sugar cookies yesterday and they were delicious. I was also talking to a few people about looking for a job there after I graduate, and there are rumors(so no hopes up yet.) that there may be more funding by the end of this academic year and they might have room for a third full time person. When you achieve your life goals and dreams in your early twenties you can enjoy your accomplishments for the rest of your life. Sometimes I feel like I cheated the system. That there's no way I should know what I want to do with my life, but when I walked into PQ that first day, surrounded by 25 youth from an entirely different social setting then I was accustomed to, I dove in head first and came home that night elated and refreshed and with purpose. It was a beautiful feeling. I even sort of came to enjoy doing budget stuff for the resource center, helping to optimize and make it more user friendly.
I'm a little behind on my internship reports, so I should catch those up.
I hope everyone is well in livejournal land.
Peace Easy.
Oh, and if you didn't know, I'm back on HRL's payroll. Well sort of. I'm a Community Advisor (Easiest way to explain it would be to say I'm sort of like a RA for the apartments) so I get a free apartment, but no stipend. That phone call was sort of a god-send.
