Today is my last day at my current position at my current institution.
On Sunday, Schmoobles and I will load up what few necessities I think I will need for our temporary (read: tiny ass) studio apartment and head off together to the new city. On Tuesday, I will begin my new position at my new institution.
I don't know what traumatic event happened to me in my childhood* that makes saying goodbyes very emotional. As much as I am looking forward to new settings, a new institution, and new adventures, if someone I am even marginally fond of says a personal individual goodbye to me I will get verklempt AF. I really need to get better at thinking of all the asshole douchebags that also occupy this space that I will be very happy to leave behind so that I don't get all weepy and annoying.

* MAYBE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MOVING HALFWAY ACROSS THE WORLD TO ANOTHER HEMISPHERE AT AGE SEVEN AND THEN MOVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY SPONTANEOUSLY AND LEAVING MY ENTIRE FAMILY AFTER COLLEGE AND THEN SPENDING MY TWENTIES AND EARLY THIRTIES MOVING TO FOUR DIFFERENT STATES WHO KNOWS JUST A GUESS. It could also be the final scene of The Little Mermaid where Ariel is saying goodbye to King Triton before she joins her non-fish dreamboat Prince Eric that I have never gotten over since 1989.
