... that I only have 1 semester left? After completing 11 semesters and 4 months of internships it is hard to conceptualize that there is a light at the end of the tunnel... that in just 3 months I will be done with classes, and back to providing occupational therapy services (granted it's unpaid for the first 6 months).
Mike and I have been living in Ithaca for almost 5 years now. That makes Ithaca the second longest I have lived somewhere, and it will definitely be sad to leave. I must say that Ithaca has had an influence on me - environmentally friendly, organic foods, quasi-vegetarian, appreciation for grass roots agencies/ stores, an open heart for people from all walks of life, and 4-wheel drive. I will miss my awesome job, participants from work, coworkers, friends, professors, the community and the plethora of services available for people with disabilities.
Where will we go next? Well, that's a very good question. We know where we will be for the first 6 months after classes are over - Philly for 3 months and London for 3 months, both for internships. Will we stay in London? Will we move to another European/ Scandinavian city? Will we return to the USA? We have absolutely no idea where life will take us in the next year.
