the cat is out of the bag

well, you may have heard the rumor and i am finally able to say it is true. i will not be returning to boston this fall to finish up at longy. there, there darling, don't cry. i shall visit of course. since i have cheap places to stay and people to see, why wouldn't i? so, i am in the process this moment of moving all my crap (how do i have so much when i lived in such a small space?) out and i have to drive back to ohio tomorrow.

why have i not said anything sooner? i have been a chicken about talking to certain people before i made it "official", such as rachael & jayne. of course, jayne's reaction was "oh no!...well, you weren't happy...do you have any of my books? when you are packing just double check...okay, bye". remember feeling like i was wednesdays at 11? yeah. i have also been EXTREMELY busy with classes at capital this summer and feel like i am failing folk song. i've never been good at it and having hours and hours of homework is not helping. but it has been incredible and i am learning so much.

okay, so what are my plans? well, i'm going to transfer to akron and see what happens. much of my reason to leave is financial, but i also wanted to do more performing of opera stuff which i can't do unless i join the opera department. i also miss singing in a choir. anyway, i am hoping to find a part time teaching job as well so i can continue that track, but i want to finish this performing degree.

so, my sweet darlings, this is the end of this chapter of my life. it is really strange, but i think it is the right decision to make. i will miss all the people i laughed & cried & worked with in boston. my starbucks friend, i am certain i will never find co-workers as wonderful as you.

please keep in touch and if you are ever in cleveland, let me know! - karen
