The last couple weeks were hectic... Cruz was sick and had to stay home from daycare for three days! Heather has been sick and not feeling well, and then this weekend my back started to hurt so bad I basically spent a whole day on a heating bad... yeah I know, I am getting old. So top it all off... I am still trying to wrap up work at IU South Bend. I officially only have two days left of full time employment. Wow... it will be weird because I am not leaving, not moving away, and even more so I am still going to be teaching at IUSB so I will still be part of the family there!
Well this past week it was mixed emotions; the phone calls to wish me well, the emails from students... and on the flip the no fun of sorting my papers, cleaning my desk and remembering which books were mine on the bookshelf. Plus I can't find my rubix cube... who took it?
Some of my highlights were when a professor called, and told me that in his 30 years at IUSB he never saw anyone do so many great things. Wow... and the honor of coming back from lunch to an AMAZING surprise party thrown for me by the Students Government and my staff. Then of course the humbling speech given by Karen White about when I started and how much I will be missed. Then SGA said they are naming an award after me... I think that is a bit too much so I will be a kabash on that... too young for anything to be named after me (and too poor to buy something to be named after me).
It was a solid week... I hope Monday and Tuesday will squeak by and I can relax and finish cleaning my office out.
