Summer!

Our last official day of school was today. I am going to miss the middle school! The students, faculty and staff there were wonderful to work with, and I hope I can find a similar school in Chicago.

It was a great last faculty meeting, the principal called up all the teachers who are leaving and presented them with a book, especially for them. Mine is "Chicago's 25 Best: What to See, Where to Go, What to Do". I am so excited! I was just thinking last night that I know about the Sears Willis Tower, the Cubs, the White Sox, the lake, Navy Pier, but what else do I need to see in Chicago! And now this is perfect!

I want to try to visit all these places and make a Chicago scrapbook out of it. I think it would be a fun way to remember the city and all the places we saw!

But, now I'm on to packing and all those last minute things before I leave. And I'm going to see my best friend tonight (who I do not see enough as it is, and we are both still on Long Island!) to say goodbye before I leave!

I still don't think it has hit me that I am moving to Chicago tomorrow! I am really excited about it, but I'm also a little nervous... But it will be fun, a new adventure, or as my dad would say, "its your journey".
