It's been a wild week and it's only Wednesday night. I've had two huge surprises thrown at me in as many days. Tuesday's put me on cloud nine, but today's slammed me back down to earth. I feel like a pinball, being shoved around by forces beyond my control. I'm upset, angry, disappointed, and depressed from today's news, but there's also the residue of ecstasy left over from yesterday's surprise. It's a wicked cocktail of emotions.

Bottom line: I'll be fine. I'm losing a great supervisor, and our school is losing its best teacher, but life will go on and I'll get over it eventually. So it goes.
