And then there were thirty....

I have less than a week left here in Ocean City! I know I say this a lot, but it is really amazing how fast time has flown this summer. My roommates and the 90 other semester students all left on Saturday, so now it's just us quarter students, about 30 of us or so. It's been weird walking around the inn for the past two days, since it's so quiet and empty now that there are so few of us here!

This week will basically be the same as previous weeks, but just a little more laid back since there are so few of us. I have two more days of work at CVS (also weird, since I just started working there four weeks ago), and nine hour shifts this week, which should be interesting. Then Thursday and Friday we clean up the Inn to get ready to shut it down for the year before leaving on Saturday.

I think this week will be a good transition for me going home. I was really sad right after my roommates left, thinking about having to go a week here without them. But now I'm more excited about spending time with other quarter students, and am glad that I have another week here to ease myself out of the little project "bubble" that I feel like I definitely got sucked into. As of now, I feel ready to come home, especially because I haven't been in good old Moraga since March now! This summer has been exhausting mentally and physically, but in the best way possible. I am excited to be home to have time to process through what I've learned and be with my family and friends who I haven't seen in a long time. But at the same time, I'm not sure what I'll do when I wake up and there's not an inn-ful of people waiting for me to be with :). In the mean time, I'll be making the most of the time I have left with the awesome people who are left!
