miami and sunflowers: anddd i'm done

Institute is officially over! but, it doesn't really feel real, i feel like i just ended a relationship and i didn't get the proper closure! I said goodbye to my co teachers, to my students, to my faculty advisor, and to all the friends that i had made from charlotte, oklahoma, and kansas city knowing that i would probably never see them again. The relationships that i have made with these people are going to stick with me for a long time...they have made me the teacher that i am today. They have pushed me, helped me, encouraged me, and really loved on me in a way that was constructive.

so what now?
i'm at the tulsa airport on my way to dallas fort worth and then flying from there to newark :] the thought of my mom picking me up and bringing me home to my first home cooked meal in 6 weeks makes me want to cry. I am so excited! i'll only have a coule days to really be at home before i go visit virginia to hang out with my housemates before we all go off to different places in the world. And then thursday morning samuel and i are going to start making our way down to miami! This week off isn't really going to be thatttt relaxing but i think it will be fun :]

here are some pictures from this last week!
