The Beginning, The Middle....

The End has yet to come, but I'm having trouble comprehending the fact that I've been here for nearly a month. It's amazing how slow and fast time seems to go, especially here. Relationships are formed and broken much faster than they would in the outside world. One of my residents commented that these three weeks are in warp-drive. A normal week here is equal to two or three in the real world.

I'm inclined to agree.

Students are currently moving out and there were many tears last night at the last check-in. I know I'm going to bawl at the end of the summer (how am I going to say goodbye to everyone? I don't even want to think about it), but it was definitely hard not to cry with the girls last night.

While I'm looking forward to a brand new batch of kids coming here, it's going to be so hard getting used to new faces and names, especially when it comes to my residents. I adored my girls and there were never any problems--- I'm afraid karma is going to bite us in the ass and send us a group that will be completely awful (which I know is not the case, but it's still my fear).


Today will be spent checking people out, and then lots and lots of sleep. I'm exhausted.
