HELLOOO out there....

Hi folks, just a quickie, only to say, thanks for all the folks out there who have helped me, loved me, and supported me. I believe that you cannot say thank you enough, so again THANKS

Happy June!~ And Happy summer, almost officially. Lately things around here have been a bit of a whirl, which seems to have become my regular way of life. I wonder if I'd be happy if it weren't that way... Has anyone noticed a sense of waiting for the other shoe to drop? I have. I feel a crackling of anticipation, is it external or internal? Does it matter? I suppose not. Possibly it's the excitement of the change of seasons, or the sudden rise in temperature, causing me to want to move, do, or otherwise take action. I have a sense of impatience, and now that I write about it, I feel that it is almost entirely internal, I am impatient for the end of the 2007-2008 school year, in order to regroup myself professionally. After a few days, I'll be working with a completely different population than I have been these past 5 months: from 4-9 year olds to 14-21 year olds. YIKES! Young adults! It's been a while since I've worked with this demographic, and I admit a little nervousness. Mostly excitement, optimistic anticipation, but a tiny bit of anxiety, which I feel is simply situational. I will be working in Sheepshead Bay, which is also new, and interesting. Maybe I'll go to the beach after work...walk along the pier and bring home some fresh fish for dinner. I have 10 days in August in Toronto & Nova Scotia to look forward to, something I've been missing in my life since grad school started: TRAVEL! I promise I won't go on and on about it, except to say that if anyone gets the opportunity to visit the Maritimes in Canada, GO! You will be very happy indeed that you did. I went to Cape Breton Island, about 10 years ago, and it was so mind blowing, like stepping into another time, in nature, very very far from my experience of city life, and pretty different than most natural settings I'd been inn up until that time. I will say no more, and invite you to look for yourselves. And what's everyone else doing this summer?
