I'm not sure what's on my mind exactly.

Academy is over.

Karen (who I became very close to this summer) leaves for Milwaukee tomorrow.  Time to adjust to different energies around.

My dad gets back Wed.   I'll be in SC (excited about my trip; sad I wont see my dad for another week). 

I am more thankful than words can describe for my experiance this summer at the Springer.  On the very last night, during the awards ceremony...I cried.  Wept like a little baby on stage infront of my students and their parents. 

I realized this week that my 8 years spent at Academy is so very a unique experiance, that no matter how close I become to someone in my life they will never understand it.  You have to go through it.  Its awsome and sad at the same time-its so much a part of who I am, its a little lonesome to think I'm incapable of completely sharing that with those I love who haven't gone through it.  hmmm.....

So I'll be in Columbia, SC this Tuesday.  You should see me if you are around.  At some point I hope to be in Charleston so you should call if you're in that area and maybe we'll be there at the same time.
