New Beginnings?

I am sitting here in the blank cubicle that I recently cleared of my personal artifacts made over the past three months. I cannot believe this is my last day here. I always have a hard time dealing with change especially when I have given a lot of myself and have been taught many lessons from my kids who are now gone. I become attached to physical places and it becomes hard towards the end to separate myself from a place where I have overcome struggles and have learned more about myself. I know that I have had a difficult time here, however, I believe that I have learned more here than I have at any other internship/job. I wonder: will these attachments continue to effect me over time or will I develop a numbness to abandonment?

Done

Well, tonight marks the end of graduate school. I had my final class tonight and tomorrow is my last day as an intern. I am officially embarking on my new career which is currently unknown. Michigan sucks. There are no jobs. It is so bad that people with PhDs are applying for entry level therapist positions. That is my competition... great! All the other graduates are ecstatic to be done, most of which are on the same path as myself. Others have obtained positions through their internships... too bad I wasn't as lucky! I have sent cover letters and resumes for at least 10 positions. I have not heard back from a single one. I will start to call next week. I have no choice. It's not like I don't have anything better to do. Oh, I will be blogging more! That is always a plus!
