Dear summer friends, Boy! You guys who were writing about the "summer you" sure hit a nerve with me. I've been having a tough time this semester as my IUP days draw to a close. I've been living here since August 2003, and in December 2004 I head back to my full-time teaching job in Prescott, AZ. I've been having a tough time focusing and motivating myself to complete the reading for my courses this term. I've been more depressed and moody than I've been in a while, and I think I'm just having feelings (ugh) about leaving the Indiana and IUP Mary. I'm going to miss living in a tacky, dinky apartment and spending my days reading and writing, and my nights in classes. However, after reading your honest accounts, I've decided to give myself a break, left myself be sad, and just go with the flow. I guess that's all for now. All you guys take care, Xxoo, Mary
