Did I mention the Metro?

Well kids, the time has finally come. Today is my last day of work, which is kind of hard to believe. I am anxious to go home to my puppy... I mean family and friends. (Don't worry little buddy, get the Frisbee ready, I'll be home soon! And yes, of course you can take up my entire bed, leaving me only two inches of space.)

Things I will not miss:
the metro, swampy heat, the metro, blisters on my feet, the metro, canned soup, the metro, having no money, the metro, having no time to eat or sleep, the metro, arrogant jerks, the metro being late, the metro having no air conditioning when it's 95 degrees out, the metro getting stuck, the metro costing a fortune, the metro workers being rude, my metro fare cards being demagnetized and deleted.... have I mentioned the metro?

However, I will miss the city in general. I'll miss being able to walk everywhere, I'll miss my office and learning new things, I'll miss crazy people in court, I'll miss my awesome boss, and I'll miss my roommates - including learning crazy words like Garberator (that's a garbage disposal to you common folk) from my Canadian roomie.

This summer has been stressful and tiring, but has been a truly awesome experience. I've learned a ton and made some great friends along the way. Today is filled with packing (yikes), cleaning (double yikes), and saying goodbyes. - Don't worry though, I'm not saying goodbye to you just yet... you'll get one more post out of me. Yes one, don't be greedy.
