I'm ready!

It's the end of the school year, I'm cleaning up some small details, turning in keys and walking out for the last time tomorrow. In the past 7 years, I have become Orthodox; served on the board for a regional theater company (serving as president for two years!); been in the longest relationship of my life; moved from my childhood home; fought with and made up with my family; played a solo recital; saw the first saviour of the Pens comeback and then retire again and then the second (and the subsequent third, forth, and fifth); and fought some nasty personal demons. I've not conquered as much as I'd like to have, but the task was more daunting that I ever expected.

Now it's time for a new challenge, new friends, new hurdles and God willing, a better life.

I'm ready for it.. Bring it on!
