Must Be Summer

Graduation is nigh, seasonal depression kicks in

Like any teacher who tells the truth, I could not be more excited about getting another school year on the books and having a month or two to recharge. But there are always a couple of students who graduate each year who I know I will miss terribly. Sometimes we keep in touch, more often we don't, and life goes on. This year, Mel is graduating and I am seriously sad. This kid has been a T.A. for me, a musical collaborator, a constant source of amusement, a rock during my wedding planning stress, and a true friend. She will be going to college locally in Raleigh, but I will sincerely miss seeing her every day. I am so proud of her, but this is the definition of bittersweet. Cheers, Mel! 

Bruuuuuuuuce!

The man is a god.
