Lots of Lasts

Today I experienced lots of defining ending moments. I had my last class in Fisher ever. I didn't feel any different leaving the building, but my teacher looked back on everything we talked about over the quarter and it was amazing to feel like I actually learned something. It was a really good experience and a good class to end with. I was looking around my class thinking wow the next time I see all of these people will be at our graduation. I feel like on that day anyone that I see and know I will want to hug. So many people have been involved in my life throughout these four years.

I also just transitioned next year's UBWA Alumnae Relations executive. Normally I transition an exec and then I learn about my own new position. This time there is no new position waiting for me. However, there is a new title, "Alumnae." It has a nice ring to it. Talking her through everything made me feel like I had finally gotten it all together. It only took me a year to reorganize everything, but in the end I left feeling pretty good about it.

Now I have to train my successor at the RPAC. Those responsibilities are a little bit longer.. 5 pages longer! I have here for almost three years and I've really come to own my responsibilities here. I feel a little bit possessive of the job, it feels like it's been mine all along. Along with leaving all of you, leaving this job will probably be extremely hard. So many students pass through here that I really wonder if everyone will remember me. This job has been just as much a part of me as 1806. It seems that everyone else is really busy at this time of the quarter so none of them have been here lately. In a way that makes it easier to leave because it's not the same atmosphere that it normally is. I better stop thinking about it because I feel some tears working their way out...
