update.

today was my last day of work. my bosses gave me two giant bags of carrots, a bottle of ranch dressing, and a carebear balloon for my departure gift. thoughtful gifts, really. while saying my goodbyes to the children i got sad. i have worked with some adorable children and they have been really awesome to work with. while saying my goodbyes to my co-workers i was also sad. i realized they actually liked me and were going to miss me. several commented that they will miss my fun. my bosses said they didn't like that i was leaving. my co-workers (for the most part) were high quality people. they were supportive. they believed that i was competent and forced me to see that i could do things well. and they were nice to me. i am finding that i need some reassurance from time to time. it was refreshing to have my co-workers honestly believe in my abilities and tell me so. i will miss having that support around on a daily basis. but i doubt i have seen the last of my favorite co-worker friends so it isn't too tragic of a day.
other than the end of work nothing much has happened. school starts in two weeks. i started drinking ice tea. i ride my bike often, though i do not like to ride with other people. i rediscovered my like for peanut butter. i met my neighbors and have started sort of hanging out with many of them. and i watched the series 'freaks and geeks.'
