I have 4 days left of CPE. Just 4 days- it's kind of hard to believe, although I'm pretty exhausted from it, and really, really ready for a break. (I'm finally remembering that I didn't really get any sort of a break between finishing finals, back in May, and then finishing packing and moving. For quite a while, the internship had me so energized, and was so different from what came before it that I was just going on the strength of that and getting more sleep.) Now, I need to start packing again, figure out the details of getting home- ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jakal88 is driving me, but we're trying to figure out how that's going to work with his work schedule and when my sister gets home, and when I need to be out of my sublet because the actual tenant is moving back in. Furthermore, I need to write my final evaluation, and a few pages worth of experiences to be sent eventually to the people who sponsor the stipend for doing CPE.
Also at the hospital we're having a big thing tomorrow- the bishop of the Syracuse diocese is going to be saying mass at the hospital chapel, so that's a chunk of tomorrow (should be an interesting thing to see- I'll be turning pages for my supervisor who is doing the piano accompaniment, so I"ll have a nice spot on the side to see from without feeling awkward). My Catholic colleagues have been really interesting to watch in planning this- one of my peers is super-excited, while one of the staff is really pretty blah about this bishop (he's very new) and the local church hierarchy in general, and is trying not to drag the more excited folks down. I think the other folks fall somewhere in the midst of that spectrum, but the contrast between those two is so clear that it's sort of funny.
Thursday will be our closing service, and then we're going to have lunch out at one of the local parks with a lake, and do a little boating. It should be a really nice way to end the unit, and spend a little time together without so much agenda before we all go our own ways. I'm really going to miss my peers- I've talked about corresponding with at least one of them, and she's really interested in the idea, and I think I'm about ready to get back into that habit. I'm realizing that I really miss the correspondence and we've been quite close this summer- I really want to stay in touch. I'm thinking that going off to Israel also may be a bit easier with a steady written connection, just like going off to college was helped by having a steady pen-pal. We'll see how that pans out, but I'm hopeful.
