(no subject)
In a nutshell, here's what happened in June and the beginning of July (in order of occurrence).
-My dog Daisy died.
-I went home for about 9 days for a visit and also to attend my high school reunion.
-I came back here to start packing. One day later...
-My grandfather died. I went home again for a day and then we went to Indiana for the funeral.
-I came back, and packed up my whole apartment in like four days. There were tears of sadness and tears of frustration.
-I moved on my birthday.
-I started teaching.
I could expand on it all, but there's no need. It's been a rough summer, which followed up a rough academic year (not in terms of my actual classes, but because of everything else). I'm not saying any of this to whine or to garner sympathy, but simply to say that it happened. That way, if I ever look back at this, it's been acknowledged that these things did happen. If I'd written about any of those things closer to when they actually happened, I would have said more. Truth be told, it would have been good for me. At this point, though, it would be mostly sad and complain-y (except for the reunion, which was actually a lot of fun).
