'Strange feeling'

I cleaned out my office today. With only a week to go, I felt it high time to get rid of some of the clutter and depersonalize it a little bit (take down my diploma, pack away my pictures). While packing, I came across this quote scribbled on a Post-It note. I know I posted it a long time ago, but it's especially poignant now.

"You get a strange feeling when you're about to leave a place, like you'll not only miss the people you love, but you'll miss the person you are now at this time and this place, because you'll never be this way again." -- Azir Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran

About 10 days to go and I'm crushed. But when you hit the bottom of the roller coaster, the only place you can go is up, right?
