Uhhhhh....I do not feel very good right now. Slight headache, but my head is spinning like crazy. I feel dizzy just sitting in my chair. I want to go home, but considering there isn't any part of Connecticut that feels like home, I really don't think that's possible. Chicago's too far away, and I don't really have a home in Ithaca right now (though I will soon - yay). I wish there was someone around to make me chicken soup. =(
So...let's try and be a bit upbeat, shall we? Staff meeting wasn't actually bad today (other than my light-headedness). We did this visioning exercise. First, we got to picture ourselves on vacation. I pictured myself sunning by a pool, cloudless sky, palm trees, light breeze in the air. You would think I would have my friends around me, right, since I've been so lonely? I was by myself, though. It was a nice vision. Then, we had to come up with visions for our department, Planning & Analysis. I thought this was hard at first, but the other people I was grouped with, permanent employees who've been here longer than I have, had some of the same ideas: teamwork, reaching out, integration, etc... I realized (as I have been over the past few days - it goes along with my whole this co-op thing not being as bad as I thought in retrospect) that I have learned some things and that I will come away with some things, too. It was not all for nothing, though I hold firm that I would have had a much more enjoyable semester in Ithaca. AND, I probably won't mind being here so much once everyone is at their respective homes, although I'll be at my respective home for part of that time as well. I don't know. We'll see. Refer to the countdown.
