Emerging again from the abyss

So it's now officially less than a month until graduation, and I don't really know what to do with that. Everything is changing, and I hate change. Even if I just found some way to stay put here, things would still be different, come fall.

I got a job with Teach for America, which I am very excited about, but it's also incredibly scary, for the record. So I'll be moving to Mississippi (or Arkansas) by the end of the summer. I've never even been to either of those places. I have never lived outside of Ohio. It's weird, because I'm just, I don't even know. I'm really psyched to move somewhere else, and it's supposed to be beautiful and all that. It's really not leaving Ohio, specifically. It's just things like maybe not getting to go to my family Thanksgiving and not really getting to see my "adopted" family anymore and also the fact that my friends are going all over the place and when on earth are we ever going to be all together again? So really I'm just having this massive internal conflict right now where I really really really hate growing up.

Also, it sucks that I have four finals (and a final paper), because I strongly desire to just do nothing in cram in all the time with people I can get. It seems like everyone is just high-tailing it out of here as soon as the semester ends, which I get, but this is it, and I just want a little bit more time. Not that more time would actually help.

Anyway, that is my crazy recap of life at the moment. I am thrilled and honored to have been accepted, and I'm sure that once I move there and everything has worked out, I'll be much better. I just suck at accepting change and saying goodbye. Boo.
