Saying Goodbye

I am a little surprised right now that I do feel a slight degree of sadness to be leaving my current job. I am sitting in my empty classroom, watching the last few minutes tick away when I will leave here and begin a new life as a "cub." That's right, the kids voted the mascot for the new Cub Run elementary school to be the cub. I am not very good at letting go of things, and even when I have been counting down the days of this infernal year, I will miss parts of it. I will miss my kids - they were a great bunch, I will miss cross country and our undefeated season, and I will miss my coworkers that did become some of my best friends. I will not miss the hour drive! :) I hate change...why do I do so much of it? :) -Kari
