This time next week I will be in Columbus. I will have left Flat Rock Playhouse pretty much for good and have many great memories to look back on. So lets recap on the lessons learned shall we?
I got here a full month after everyone else and yet I felt very welcome right from the start. My roommates are amazing and so are most of the other interns.
I learned that just because you have to celebrate your 21st birthday away from your friends and family doesn't mean its not going to be possibly the best birthday you have ever had.
I am not a good secretary. I'm not a bad one but I make little mistakes a lot, mainly because of my dyslexia.
Dan Dee may not have the best food in the world but when its the closet thing you come to a home cooked meal for two months you learn to love it.
Running almost everyday is good for the soul, mind and body.
Carl Sanburg's Home is beautiful.
Teaching is just as hard as it looks. When doing it with little kids its a lot of fun. But at the same time one of the hardest things that I will ever do.
In every job there will be something you do not like. This year it was my boss. But at least I still had a job I enjoy waking up at 8 am for.
Weekends off aren't as much fun without anyone to spend them with, but the time alone is good for your sanity.
NC has plenty of fun, beautiful land to explore.
Being 300 miles away from your boyfriend is not fun, at all.
Having family and friends come to visit is better feeling than Christmas.
If you let it happen, you will find a lot in common with your family.
The alarm only setting on my phone saved my life this summer.
Ice cream fixes most things.
Small showers can be fun
How to fall in love
Things I will miss:
My beyond wonderful roommates.
All the friends I made up here.
The kids.
The other teachers.
Running in the woods.
Rootabaga! Stories/ Popsicle days
The proud feeling at the end of the shows on Friday when the kids have done a great job and there parents look so impressed and proud.
Hugs from little kids who run up to me calling me Miss Brittain.
Fire Pits
Long walks with Teressa.
Midnight Studio.
The Mountain air
Sitting on my front porch listening to the show, watching movies or just hanging out and talking.
Having countdowns
I decided to do this post today even though I still have a week because I can sit here and remember it all in my room. I am going to miss it here so much. Even if I am so ready to be back home. Today is my last Sunday, my last lazy day. I have eaten great pizza done some office work and will now just sit back and watch it all happen. I feel so much better than I did at this point last summer. I feel like my life is on a good track. I feel like things have fallen back into place. I can go back to Columbus with a smile on my face ready to make the most out of my remaining time there.
