Sad-Happy Day


What to do... what to do?

It's funny how "time flies" on swift, powerful wings. Hated cliche... so overused, yet true wit
h the type of truth that is usually accompanied by that foul taste in the mouth.

Today is my last day at formerly "First-year Services," now "Student Development Centre" at the University of Regina. A new, ambiguous department name for a new, ambiguous academic future. They let me eat cake today, and gave me a card... which they each signed with their own unique message written down for my memory. I will miss this place and the people more importantly.

"The Student Development Centre -- Helping to give you the tools you'll need to succeed."

Where I am going is a place far more menacing and I am not oblivious to the challenge I will face there. It's ironic that I am now going to leave the place I love to be (the university campus) to go to a place I could not wait to leave (high school) in order to help make the transition from one stage to the next better for my future students.

It could be that I am truly going delusional, like the occassionally significant pressure in my head is indicating.
