Transition Time

I don't even know where to begin. I have about 3 posts that I want to write tonight, but we'll see how far I get. Tomorrow I am leaving the job and co-workers I love and going back to school. I had a huge wave of doubt hit me a minute ago, and I can't help but worry about this choice. It is so unknown and I have no idea what to expect. Everyone keeps telling me that I will do fine and that it will be fun, but can't I grieve? I feel like several people expect me to move right along and experience no pain in what I am doing. I really think this is a test of my faith and I really hope I pass. The unknown use to be exciting, but not anymore. Sorry to ramble...

Of course it's ok to take some time to grieve. Everyone processes change in their own way, so don't let any of us strong-willed types tell you how you should feel!

I've been trying to remember how I felt when I moved to Indy not knowing anyone. I dug out some old e-mails, and remembered that I ended up driving to Ohio the first weekend I was here because I was so lonely, and then you came and stayed with me the second weekend! It feels like such a long time ago now...

Don't apologize (too much) for rambling, that's pretty much what a lot of blogs are for :-) Have you seen any of my posts? I've had at least two 1200+ word posts in the last week I think. Your posts are shorter than most of my comments!

I'm sure you'll be fine and have fun like everyone says, but that doesn't preclude apprehension. Fortunately, there's not too much you can't undo other than quitting your job (which is a big deal of course) if things don't work out, so keep in mind you aren't stuck with your choice for more than a year at this point! I was pretty nervous when I started school last year, too, and that was just part time.
