Why am I so sappy?

So in the past, I would have never considered myself an emotional girl, but lately I think I've just become a sentimental mush. With graduation only 2 weeks away, and knowing that in about a month I will be moving away, I guess the realization that Im actually leaving is finally setting in. This week our department had a graduation dinner to honor all the seniors and they were talking about moving on to the next phase of our lives, and I just couldnt help but feel a sort of sadness as I looked at the classmates I may never see again. Then yesterday I had an end of the year evaluation with my professor and field instructor, and they were saying such complimentary things about me, and how much they would miss me, and again I became emotional. To top all things off, today when I was doing home visits, I stopped by the apartment of one of my old clients and she had just had a baby 6 days ago, so I got to sit down with her, visit and hold a week old baby...and of course I went to mush. I've put so much heart into the people that I work with and I will miss them so much...
However, dont get me wrong...Im very excited about entering into the next phase of my life. I know it will hold many adventures and joyful experiences, I just think that its normal to feel a sort of loss when change is about to happen. But I dont know...maybe Im experiencing so many varied emotions right now that Im not even making any sense...
