Today, I had a very heartfelt goodbye with one of the most charming people I have ever met. Dr. Lynne Stallings has been a huge impact in my life and college career for the past year, and I know that I would not be where I am today without her. Today marked the end of the last class I will ever have with her. We have promised to stay in contact, she even offered to slip into my suitcase when I go to France over the summer. She even made me cry today! She means so much to me, which is an interesting feeling because of the context of our getting to know each other, but I swear I wouldn't change it for the world.
It's just...I always thought that I would *know* when I got into my upper-level courses because there would be such a change in work load, expectations, and involvement. Because of the preparation she has given me, this class felt as involved as the first one I had with her. I'm not afraid of my other ones because of how I've been prepared. It is just simply an amazing feeling and I hope that not only will we continue to stay in contact but evolve from a student-professor relationship to a colleague friendship.
