Bittersweet

Well, today has been quite an interesting day. It was really sad because it was my last day of work but it was also really exciting because I finally feel like I'm getting ready to move. I finally found an apartment in South Bend and it's right downtown, about a mile from my school. I'm hoping that I will be able to bike to school for a good part of the year and possibly bike or walk to my work as well, depending on where it is. Once again I'm getting very, very excited to move, and I feel like doing so this very second. It's already been hard having to say goodbye to my wonderful coworkers, and to all the fun times I've had at MLAC, and I know it's going to be just as difficult to leave my friends and family. I do think, however, that this upcoming adventure is just exciting enough to offset the sadness, or at least enough to keep me from planting my feet firmly in Minnesota and refusing to leave (which I really have felt like doing this past week, especially yesterday). I'm really looking forward to going to culinary school and I know that the baking industry is where I want to be. I really hope that I like South Bend and that it will be a good fit for me. I guess I'll know in a few weeks.
