Bye Bye Blackbird


Today is my last day in Burlington....!!

It's been a wonderful day, too. The sky is so blue, and the sun is so warm, and it is the first day in a long time that I have absolutely no obligations or plans. I woke up before my alarm bright and early, and sat around in my pajamas until the sun peaked in the sky at high noon. I've been staying at a friend's place for the last few days (thank you Lauren and Becca!!!), and it's been a nice change from my regular routine. After feeling a bit antsy in the house, I walked down to Church street and took it all in. The busy movement of the lunch time crowd, the delicious smell from the street vendors, and the talented tunes from the performers all reminded me of how much I'll really miss this place. I took my time as I walked down the street -- it was a great way to say goodbye.

There has been a lot of change these last few days, and it will all culminate to a grand adventure as I pack up my life once again and move into a new city. After a week of RA training, I feel more than prepared to handle my RA duties, but I am still nervous about being somewhere completely new. I don't know what my new home looks like yet, and that alone is elevating my stress level. I'm doing my best to put those worries aside and stay positive -- adventures are always exciting, and this one has so much potential to shape my future that I need to welcome it with open arms.


But damnit, I'll miss this place.
