Dear Blogger,
So I’m officially done in the city. All I have to do is leave tomorrow morning. I’m helping Kari get to the bus station so she can leave, and then I’m taking David’s WTFWJD hat to his co-op. And then I’m done with the Chicago Center.
I’ve taken the necessary goodbye photos of the apartment and my friends and the neighborhood.
We had a wrap-up session at the classroom today. It was really sad for me to go to. It’s been such a great time here. I want you to know that.
They asked us questions about what happened to us while we were here. Some people told funny stories about riding the CTA, and the people told touching stories about their internships, and we saw the student teachers that we hadn't seen since September, and we all said what we thought the experience meant for us. I said that I learned so much and that I barely scratched the surface of anything I saw. All kinds of surfaces that I might not have been able to scratch in Albion. And I got to spend time with a group of people that want to learn the same things I do. And that I love the people here, the people in the Chicago Center and at Haymarket Co-op and in Hyde Park, and the people in Oberlin and the people in Albion and the people in Ohio, and the people at the BPFNA, too.
It all just kind of comes out at once, y’know?
Ani and I were talking about this on the way home from the center. There’s a lot more we could have done, but we realized we didn’t do some of those things because we didn’t have the time. I did some great things while I was here. And there’s always next time, right?
I just have to leave and go back to Oberlin. And post my final photo album, post a few more things for you here and there, and then it’s all over.
So pay attention for a little longer, please.
