I shall bring this chapter of my life to a close this Saturday, when I will be moving back to Emporia. Things I learned:

1. How to control your finances without them controlling you.
2. How to be a push-over.
3. How to be a control freak.
4. How to raise a ruckus at work, forcing your boss to fix a situation.
5. How to utterly waste your time. (I was already slightly proficient at this)

I had a bit of a ridiculous situation at work this week in which I was running a classroom that had no teacher. I certainly made sure that concerns were voiced through me and through the children's parents. End result: I look like the best employee in the world in a horrible situation, my coworkers/superiors look like they should be fired. I'm still running the classroom on my own, but people that matter now have greater respect for me.

I'm rather pleased with myself.
