Realization

Euphoria!
It comes crashing over me when it was announced. 3 months at Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I don't know how to feel at this point. I am upset at the 3 months away, and absolutely overjoyed at those same 3 months. I am leaving so much behind. Figuratively and Literally. While I know most of it will still be here when I get back, one of those things won't. And it won't ever be again.
The mixed emotions that I can feel all over the place is going to take a while to calm down. The joy, the excitement, the sadness, the hurt (both given and received,) the absolute novelty.
Right now its all that I can fathom.
Realization is sinking in, and once it fully registers, I may do one of two things. Jump through the roof with exultation, or fall through the floor at complete shock. Either way, I seem poised to do some architectural damage tonight!
Until the next time, Au Revoir.
