yes this is cheesy. if you don't like cheesy, don't read it.
from doing my papers in victoria's room... each of us procrastinating by yelling at the other for procrastinating...
to watching movies with alex in alex's room or in movie theaters...
to michael dropping by and saying hi in everyone's rooms...
to the dance parties and fashion decisions with my roommate...
to sitting and reading quietly and then falling asleep many a late night in peggy's room...
to going to joe john's room and having him read you a story, whether it be "grandma and the pirates" or adorable moments from his high school journal...
to sitting around in jill's... working/sleeping/eating/living
i'm really really really going to miss this place. and these people. and the way things are right now.
and although michael has already left, it still hasn't hit me that the year is ending, that things will be over, that next year i won't be able to get to jill, joe john's, or vica's rooms through an underground hallway indoors... that i'm not going to be able to drop by and see these people whenever i choose this summer.
and as much as i know that it's time for a break, that i need time away from here... i don't want to leave.
i will always remember this year, these people, the way things are when everyone's happy and joking and laughing and sharing moments. and i realize that sounded very hallmark card-like but i can't really phrase it any other way.
and while i know that this year wasn't without plenty of fights/breakups/angst to go around... there was something about freshman year, the "fellowship" ... that was magical. at least to me.
and i am ready to move on, i am pleased that i have such wonderful friends and don't need a "tribe" any more...
but there are definitely moments like these that i will never forget.
