What I won't (and will) miss about my time in Three Rivers, MI

Top 10 things I will (and won't) miss about this place:

Won't miss
The mold, or the smell of it
Cats having sex in my ceiling
Water coming through when it rains
The terrible phone reception
Being in a different time zone
(Almost) unlimited ice cream
Being 45 minutes to the nearest "real" city
(Re)doing the store inventory
Cardiac hill
The Tarzan rope

Will miss
The lack of potholes and fire, ambulance and police sirens
Working with different groups nearly every day
Free room and board with the (almost) unlimited ice cream
The people - both at Camp Eberhart and Norton Elementary School
Wearing shorts and a tshirt to work every day
Having almost 300 acres to play on and seeing deer daily
The best goodwill store EVER
Flexibility of what I teach, days off and the random projects
The camp Eberhart story
80s parties, trainings, collegiate presentations and TRIO

*I typed this the week before I left in May, but it never made it past notes.
