My last day

It's finally here - my last day of gainful employment for the next two years (barring a summer internship). Since this wasn't a sudden decision to leave, I don't feel all that different today than I have for the last few months. I think it'll feel different next Monday when I realize I don't have to get up and go to the office.

Again, I'm most sad to leave the people who I know won't keep in touch with. Last night, I rode the elevator down with one of them. He got on, saw me, and said, "I heard you're leaving. Grad school or something?" I gave him the rundown (Columbia, New York, MBA, big trip to Alaska) which lasted until we to parted ways in the parking garage. I told him to have a good night and he replied, "See you later." I could tell, just I was turning away to go to my car, that he realized this was probably the last time we'd speak. It was such an odd look on his face - hesitant and confused. I could tell he was wondering if he should say something more sentimental or just let me go. That was sad.

Otherwise, I'm excited about it all. My trip, New York, b-school. I'm right on the brink of a whirlwind two years and I can feel it.
