my last day of co-op went well. we went out to lunch. i handed off my pending files. i had a little exit interview/evaluation conference with my supervisor.

i feel a bit ambivalent about the whole experience. i learned so much, and people were fine. there was one person who really grated on my nerves, but my interaction was limited. other than that, there were no negative experiences or personalities. but things still fell a bit flat. over the summer, i really clicked with the judge i worked with, and we have kept solidly in touch. when i go back to visit, everybody is very happy to see me. this last place, i really didn't interact with that many people. i was kind of in my hole of an office intensley researching and writing.

so i'm looking for something, long term, that can give me a bit of a spark in my day-to-day interactions, but yet have intellectually stimulating and important work. perhaps i'm more of a collaborator than i had previously believed. working alone in a hole isn't so pleasant for me. not all day every day for weeks on end.

so now it's off to california tonight, and then upon my return, it's spring break! i will hang out here at home while the kids go to school and beloeved goes to work. nice that i end up with this time off. Classes start back up on March 6. I'm looking forward to that, as well. b/c i am a freak.

We've all established that you're a freak - that's why you don't get fevers.

PLEASE be good to yourself while travelling. Ever heard of Airborne? Take lots of it.

Congratulations on completing the co-op; sounds like you learned some important things.
