saddness

It's going to be so lonely here in Winston Salem soon. Melissa got a job in Nashville and is moving THIS WEEKEND! Noooooo!! I can't lose my fun going out and being stupid friend already! It's not fair. She is, of course, still after me to come over with her once I'm done with my internship. The place she will be working sounds amazing. Something like intensive family restoration counseling. DSS/DCS refers families to this place that are flagged in the system for being in danger of losing their children for some reason or another. So the agency has 30 days to work with them to ensure the safety of the kids... either referring the family to the right support places, doing planning and counseling with them, or reccommending that the kids do indeed need to be taken away. She's going to be making significantly more than I am at TCH, as a Bachelor's position, and she has told me there are Master's level counseling positions available. It is so tempting to look into and consider going over too... but I always come back to the distance. I don't want to be that far from home again. I know I'd have a blast... but it's just too hard to come home for a short weekend that far away.

ANd, if that's not bad enough, Becca is leaving me for freakin' LONDON in about 2 weeks. NO FAIR NO FAIR NO FAIR! All my buddies are leaving me. I think Tucker & Don and Amy & Bill need to move to W-S so they're closer and can do fun stuff with me. =) Seriously though, I have no idea what I'll do with both of them gone.. =( waaaaaaaaaaah
