aside from the obvious answer, "ummm, rhi, like... last week, maybe?" i feel like this year has FLOWN; at least in hindsight. recounting the first days/weeks/months of teaching, i remember feeling desperately stressed and like i would never make it through that time, but alas, here i am just three weeks shy of putting my first year of teaching in the books.
in addition to finishing my first year of teaching, i will also be moving. a bittersweet depart from the lovely condo i've been able to call home for almost the past three years.
as i prepare for the stress and sheer inconvenience of transporting my entire life just a few miles away, i feel an odd sense of completion of this chapter upon me. truth be told, i always figured the next house i moved to would be one with my husband, and not a new roommate, but not much about what i've "figured" about life has ever turned out to be that way. with the school year wrapping up, my besties becoming wives, and our first real stint of "life after college" coming to a close, i almost feel as if i am leaving one chapter with one set of keys, and crossing the threshold of an entirely new one. which is bizarre to me, because it is mainly just circumstances changing more than anything else, but c'est la vie.
maybe the nostalgia is stirred up with the dust as i pack, or maybe there is more on the horizon just too far yet to be seen; i don't know. but here i stand, at an odd ending place. one i didn't feel coming until it was upon me.
praying for peace and guidance as i (hopefully) move on to bigger and better.
i guess, this is adulthood.
