Just a few more things left to pack, and I'll be finished clearing out my office at school. I recognize that I've drawn this process out for a while, but with good reason: I can only fit 2 boxes in my car at a time. And, all joking aside, up until my farewell party last week, I hadn't been in that big of a hurry to move on. Now, however, it's the good memories and amazing community of students, friends and, of course, blog readers! that I want to focus on, not a sad half-empty office. I'm ready to rip this band-aid off.

On another note, while things are a bit somber here today, they are very inspiring over at my significant other's place...if you can get past the goofy photo of me and the succulents [you'll know the one]. Let it serve as a reminder to NEVER cleverly insert yourself in an otherwise harmless photo shoot.
