So clearly I celebrated too early about regularly updating.
Sorry about that.
But I actually have been busy doing the project I was meant to do a long time ago.
So I will just write about my last day and then backtrack to the party and anything else interesting that happened...
My last day was so sad! I didn't want to leave.
They surprised me with a going away party! It was so sweet. I bought my breakfast on the way into work as usual and when I came in, the girl who sits at the desk next to me kind of stared at me funny. I didn't know why but she seemed confused. After we chatted for a bit I left to get my computer and when I came back she had left, I just assumed she had to go do something, we were at work, after all. I sat down to eat my breakfast, it was about 9:10 and I usually go over to see who needs me at 9 but I hadn't eaten and I was too busy chatting at first and I figured they wouldn't need me asap. I ate about half of my food when I got an email from my boss saying that the sweater and knit team needed me. I debated finishing my breakfast but I figured I was taking too long and they might really need me.
I walked over to their row, waved to one of the workers that I got really close to, and then my boss yelled "Surprise!!"
They had a whole breakfast buffet with fruit and donuts and pretzels, coffee, orange juice, cream puffs, everything! It was great! I really should have seen it coming, they throw parties for every occasion at that place, but I had no idea! They gave me balloons and a card that they all signed wishing me luck at school and saying they would keep in touch and it was so nice! We just hung out and chatted and ate a lot of really sweet, disgusting food for breakfast! Apparently everyone was worried that I wouldn't show and was asking my boss how she would get me over here without suspecting. She said that it was fine since I always come over right away but then everyone was standing there and I hadn't shown up so she shot me an email, haha, it was definitely a good call or I would have keep eating my food!
And apparently the weird looks I got was because of me already holding food, she was worried about the breakfast party! She even said that the reason she left before I came back was because she knew we would keep talking and that she wouldn't be able to go or get me over there herself.
After the party it was business as usual but saying goodbye was hard. I got hugs from everyone and they all said to stay in touch and if I get the time to stop by they want me to let them know and they'll let me in to hang. My boss also said to let her see my progress on my senior projects and she'd love to help if she could and to let her know what I'm up to after graduation.I started a Linkedin to keep in touch with everyone and I've "connected" with most of them already. It's going to be so weird not to go back...I loved it there. I wore my sombraro all morning.
