And so it is...

It's been so weird last night and this morning preparing for class and thinking it is the last class already of this session. I have a lot I feel like I could say, but I know that everyone is so tired of reading and just need a break. So, I will just say that it has really been a pleasure and honor getting to know such an amazing group of people. It is hard to believe that it has only been 6 weeks since classes started. I have learned so much in the last 6 weeks, not just from classes, but so much from every one of you as well. Knowing I will have all of you with me for support and encouragement gives me so much more confidence and excitement for the future.

So, Thank you everyone, for everything.
