The End of the World as We Know It

I hardly know what to think. After getting up and coming to work at this school about 1,700 in the last nine years, I just can't quite imagine NOT doing that anymore. On the one hand, it sounds very luxurious not to be waking early and dealing with the every day details, but on the other hand it's really sad. This has been such a major part of life that I just can't quite imagine it being gone. I was 22 when I first came into this job; I've grown up here. Now that's over. No worries, this job doesn't define me. Right? Now on to the next great adventure!
