Things are changing for us. Some for the good. Some for the bad. Really sad thing happened today: I saw my co-workers for (most likely) the last time today. Even though we will still be in Cedar next year while Josh finishes, leaving the Writing Center is going to be like severing my left arm; for my whole college experience, it has been my constant...my home away from home. After working there, I can't image loving another job as I have this one. There is such immense satisfaction gained when a tutee walks away from our session with a big smile on their face, confident in their ability to go forward and write great things.
Another sad thing: leaving this department. Substituting for the secretary upstairs, working with writing contests, grading papers, working in English 1000 groups- it's been my life for quite some time now. Since it's not all that big down here at SUU, most people get to know their professors within their department on a pretty personal basis. Although I will miss them, more than anything, I will miss my friends and co-workers that I have made so many good (and bad) memories with more. You guys are awesome and I have so much faith in you going on to write amazing, wonderful things.
Happy thing: I am graduating Magna Cum Lade with my Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing and my official Tutor Certification. This is not so much of a brag as a fact: I am satisfied with my work here.
Happy thing: Josh is my constant and he will always be there, graduating or no.
Happy thing: New things are coming our way. Good, new things. Not sure what they are yet, but you know what they say about how when one door closes, another one opens? Doors, here we come.
