I like that I am able to buy beer with dinner now
Whitney and I went out to eat tonight after we got back from a AmeriCorps BBQ. It was along the Chesapeke bay, I thought it was going to be a real beach, but it was more like a lake. The water was absolutely disgusting. There were dead fish floating in the water. So no one really went swimming. But I guess it was fun. We each were supposed to make an award for a teammate. I drew Janessa's name out of the hat. I made her an award for being the most wonderful. She really is amazing. Yeah, so I cried so much I couldn't even read what I had written. I just gave it to her along with a big hug. I am going to miss my team so much, words can't even really describe how I feel about these 9 other people I with whom I have spent every waking moment since last October. They are all so incredible. I really hate crying, but I have been doing it a lot lately. I am sure I will cry tomorrow at the banquet they are having for us, as well as Thursday at graduation, and probably on the plane as well. I am a big baby. Mixed in with all this sadness is excitement of returning to CA and seeing all my friends and family again. My emotions are such a contradiction...
