end or beginning?
(both 3rd and 4th grade classrooms)
So many emotions running through my mind right now, flist. I passed my portfolio meeting on Thursday (\o/) which was basically the last hoorah of my college career! I can hardly believe it. My higher education is COMPLETE. Today my last day at school was amazing. The minute I stepped through the door they all made me very aware that they knew how significant this day was. I had many tears you guys, MANY TEARS. Because honestly, this is SUCH a special group. You all heard me talk about what a challenge they were, but now at the end of it all my heart aches that I won't be with them anymore. They threw a big party for me at the end of the day- I was even blindfolded! I got such precious gifts, and there was even a cake. One of my sweetest little guys, Riley, gave me a little tin full of Hershey chocolate nuggets signed From Riley- your favorite. <3 I'm going to miss them so much.
So I'm kinda a mess. Went from being on top of the world because college is finished, to mostly sad and tearful today. And now I don't know how to feel. I'm aimless. I have 17 years of education behind me, and a huge new life phase to enter. How is one supposed to feel?

Well for now, I'm going to enjoy the holidays. My future can wait till I have some Norwegian dessert in my stomach and Christmas Vacation crossed off my to watch list.
