il giorno ultimo

the last day

so friday was my last day at state...for the summer at least. overall, it was a good day. i worked in the morning, wandered around turning in my hard drive and getting my check out sheet signed in the afternoon, and then we had a party before i left. we had a hall party last week, so to celebrate the holiday weekend, my going away, and use up all the leftovers, we had another party. During the party I got a nice plaque saying thank you for your service and a really nice pen. :-) The plaque is signed by the acting assistant secretary, which is super cool. everybody wished me well and only had good things to say. they all seemed genuinely pleased that i am coming back in the fall too. then again, what are they supposed to say when i am right in front of them, lol. anyway, i was going to write more, but im tired, and i leave for italy tomorrow...crazy! it still doesn't seem quite real. oh well though, its happening whether im ready or not.
