Today was absolutely heartbreaking as we had to deal with the fact that we would be leaving tomorrow. We had our final leadership session with mike during which we discussed risks we’d taken and what we had discovered, and how that made us a better leader. At one point, people had started crying as we were talking about anything and everything so he just turned some music on and told us to hug it out. Then the crying fest ensued as people jumped over people to hug them and cry into their shoulders. While I was shaken up, tears had not yet spilled from my eyes. That is, until we had reconvened and the TA’s gathered up front. When the tears started spilling from Aaron’s eyes, that’s when I lost it. I find it so interesting that here I was, crying after 11 days, when I shed not a single tear at GSP and was in fact elated to leave. I had no idea I would be one this close with so many people and be this torn up about leaving.
Next we had our final presentations which consisted of each of the classes presenting their final projects. News writing did slide shows with the articles, photography showcased their pictures, broadcast played a news video they had produced and film and scriptwriting debuted their movies. Those movies, I have to say, we’re absolutely fantastic! Everybody did a phenomenal job on their projects, but those movies had us laughing so hard!
After one final TA Meeting ( tear:/) where we passed around “yearbooks” for each of us to sign, we ended the night with a bang at our Correspondent’s Ball! It was dancing to the max, nonstop, until 11! Now, tired, we are ready to crash and wake up super early for our closing ceremony. I’m just glad they are letting us wear casual clothes tomorrow! My shuttle leaves for SFO at 12, and my flight departs at 6….wooo for long airport sitting!
How am I going to leave these guys?!
