in 5 minutes i'm out the door of my room in pembroke college - the program is over, the kids have all left, the staff have dismantled the office, taken everything to storage, had the computers and copiers picked up, had our final dinner, done a bit of drinking, packed our own lives up, said our goodbyes, and are walking out the door.
this summer went so quickly, so smoothly. and it was so much fun. IS so much fun - tomorrow mom, dad, and becky fly in and we're spending 12 days in scotland. i'm SO looking forward to this. but this summer on the program was a lot of fun, too. i went into this summer thinking it was probably my last - not because i don't like the program, because i do, but because i don't know what my life will be like in 12 months and it might not include the program. i am realizing that i would miss it so much if i wasn't able to come back here next summer, though, so i'm hopeful that i can make that happen again.
i'm sad to leave these friends - some of whom have become very good friends. that's the trouble with adventures, right? you can't have both your life in atlanta and your life in oxford at the same time. sigh.
goodbyes are NO FUN.
