Day: last.

My last day of work!! How has it come so quickly?!

Today I was a cool post day, which is beautifully air conditioned, wonderfully bee-free, and marvelously not busy. It was a very slow day, I had unlimited root beer and I had a good person to work with. Kaylen is form Hong Kong and she is a riot. She's leaving next week, and so understands my sadness. She also did a 10-week program and is sarcastic and witty and hilarious to hang out with! I'm so glad I got a good person to work with; it would have been a very long 12 hours without her! 

I watched bits and pieces of Illuminations as I cleaned up, and when I got back to base, I was in no hurry to leave. I banked out, Evan let me have a Mickey Premium ice cream as a goodbye, and then we sat and got talking with Evan, Joey, Karen, Jackie, Kaycey and Kaylen for almost an hour and a half. I miss them all already! We laughed and talked and made fun of Kaylen's accent and made fun of the Canadian 'eh' and made fun pf the Texan 'howdy'. We told stories and laughed and joked and it felt like a family. One that I was desperate not to leave behind. So I stayed as late as I could. But when every one else started to leave, I had to too. Kaycey, Kaylen and I left together, all headed for the bus. I hugged Jackie goodbye and waved to everyone else. I changed out of my costume and set it down the laundry chute. For the last time! Strangely both liberating and saddening! :(

The bus ride home was great - I don't know how I managed to not know these girls until the last week of my program (way to go, Steph) but they are fantastic and I will miss them! The rain was pouring beautiful and warm, and I made plans to see them both tomorrow for at least a hug goodbye; but I think Kaycey and I are going to ride Space Mountain together because we found out that we both just giggle uncontrollably the entire time! ;)

So, now I'm home. Making plans to see everyone I want to hug goodbye. Eduardo and Kaycey and Hudson and Sam and Emily and AHHHHH. So many people that I don't want to say goodbye to :(

And now it's time to pack. Get everything together so that tomorrow I don't have to.

One day left! Make it count!
