Year-End Blues

So we are quickly coming up on the end of the year, and it is hard to expect the unexpected (Even when you know to do so).

Monica, my Tech TOSA partner, is moving up the ladder. I'm really sad to see her go, but I am happy that she is seizing new opportunities. That means I have a new partner next year to help shoulder some of the tasks of a Tech TOSA, but it still feels weird. Am I ready to take the lead on this? I think I am, but one can't help but have doubts, right?

Another one of our TOSAs is retiring (Teresa). I'm going to miss her quite a bit. She is not only super helpful, but she is a lot of fun. Really good for morale. I'm glad she was around this year to help me get my sea-legs.

But now that my big project for the month is done (Putting Summer School together on really short notice), I can kind of focus on my plan of attack for next year. I think next year will go smoothly, but there is no telling for sure.

I'm crossing my fingers.
