Saying goodbye is so hard :(

So, work today was so tough. We all know i am very, very bad at saying goodbye and it felt like that is all i did at work today. Tommorrow is my last day at work, but i have a transport in the morning, so i really wont see anyone, so all the goodbyes were said today. I have only worked there for about 3.5 months and yet i feel like i will really miss many parts of that job. It was hard to say goodbye to some of my coworkers, but it was super hard to say goodbye to those kids. i cried 5 times at work today, man, i am such a sap. one of the foster moms that i have worked pretty closely with gave me a cookie boquet and a very sweet card. Everyone was just so sweet and trying to explain to the kids why i was leaving was also very hard. They are just too young to understand. anyway, through all my doubts, i do think this is the best decision for me right now. it still feels very wierd to me not to be working, but i am sure i will get used to it. :)

well, this weekend was a nice mixture of productivity and fun. Friday, i spent most of my day writing my 20 page policy paper. the topic was the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. I thought i knew everything about it, but i actually learned a few things while writing the paper. That was really cool. it was a tough paper to write, the stats about violence against women in the US are astonishing. anyway, it is basically done, i want to proof it one more time tonight before i turn it in tommorrow. friday night, i hung out with will. We drank some wine, chatted it up and had a super fabulous trip to walmart. It was good times. He is actually at a conference in new orleans this week. lucky him. :)

saturday was quite a day. I think it only worked out so well due to my fabulous planning skills. :) well, i was at jenn's place at 11. we had some lunch at the macaroni grill (mmmmmm) and caught each other up on our lives. It seems that the Turning Point (the rape crisis center i used to work at) has moved locations. They are having some funding problems :(, so they had to move to a smaller office. so, if anyone out there has some disposable income they would like to donate, the Turning Point could definitley use some help. after lunch, miriam met us at the movies and jenn, miriam and i went to see Love Actually. It was such a great movie. It was not your typical romantic comedy. It followed several couples at the same time and not all the couples were romantic love. There were best friends, siblings, lovers, family. it was great. after that, i jetted over to a babysitting gig that i took over for leslie, so she could head to college station to hang with andy. the job was only from 4-6. it was super easy. then, i headed back home to continue working on my paper. Quite an eventful day. It was much fun.

sunday, i cleaned the apartment, worked on my paper a bit more and then had my regular sunday fun with michael. we did some shopping, ate some lover's egg roll (mmmmm), saw Elf, burned some CD's. It was a great day. Elf was pretty good. It was definitley a kid's movie, but there were several damn funny scenes. well, i am off to write another paper for my class on wednesday. Peace out.
