December 31st. Can you believe it? Can you believe that another year has gone by. And not just any year, but a very important one.
2005.
The second half of our senior year.
Snow White and the 7 Drawfs with Drama class. Bri and Zach jumping out the window for April Fool's day in Mrs. Delorme's class. OMFG TRIP TO WASHINGTON...BEST trip ever (only could have been better if you were there Meghan). Mrs. Greco AGAIN. Study hall (finally) with Matthias, Bri, Janaye, Krista, and sometimes Alex. Physics...ahh the Penguins!!
Of course there was also the APs..blah.. lol. But at least I got credit for Government.
There was a pretty successful marathon.
There was drama. Another successful show. A lot of tears. Some of the best times of the past year were just spent in that auditorium. I can't believe its all over.
Semi. Filling Clara's house to the brim with couples and parents. Awful music. Leaving early to go back to Clara's...FUN. Dom. One of my favorite pictures.
Ball. RVing it! Piano Man. The carosel. The afterball party.
Getting into all the colleges I applied to and picking RPI!
Florida over Spring Break. Dom and Frankie. Space Mountain how many times in a row? THAT F***ING BOAT! Sooo much fun!
Graduation. OMG IT'S ALL OVER. Now if that's not scary, I don't know what it. But we made it. We did it!
Graduation parties!! All of them were so much fun!
NYC with Meghan!! Chicago, Phantom, Beauty and the Beast!! Ground Zero, Chinatown, SoHo, Time's Square, and Central Park. The best trip with my best friend!!!!!!
Orientation. Staying up all night with Mike, Chris, and Dave. Rooming with Rachel. Joe "Hey you guys are BME, right"
Late talks...No Joe, I was just thinking that..and..STOP READING MY MIND!
Pinky Promise!
Oh my God. Summer is over. We can still fit in one more movie night, one more pool day. Where did the time go. We just graduated, we had all summer, where did it go?
Saying goodbye. Oh the pain that sometimes causes.
College. is it really possible that I'm in college. I'm not old enough for that. I'm not ready for that. And yet there I was.
Rooming with Lindy...I think we suit each other very well.
Meeting up with Joe, Mike and Dave at the picnic! Grabbing onto Rachel at the "dance" as she screams and we hug! Meeting Zack and Anthony...assholes are ALL up at BARH!
Poker and movies. Walking to I love and Walmart.
Oh hell classes are starting! Our new habit of sitting in Barh lounge and doing homework every night.
Getting to know Wilson and Chris and Andrew.
"Honey I don't want you to worry, but Mom's had a heartattack, she's in the hospital" Lots of weekends home.
I'm going to fail Chemistry!! Rachel joins a fraternity and leaves us *cries a little* Birthday cakes!
Oh no it's Kyle and Scott! Joe, Wilson, Luke and I don't get into trouble!
Trip out to see Nani! AIDA..soooo amazing! I love you hunny and I miss you! And yes, Shane did behave in the car!
Thanksgiving break. Going out to get Bri and Alex and MEGHAN. Seeing Harry Potter on iMAX.
The play! Pretty awesome. Happy that I was a part of it. Maybe I just helped with set. But I helped shape that club, as did so many others from my class, and I was proud of them.
Sleepover! Shhh quiet guys!
Back at RPI. Weeks of hell. Finals. 3.16!! Not so bad. Bye guys!
Winter break. Hell yeah. Christmas...peaceful and relaxing. Window! TSO..awesome, movies at Meghan's even better. Game night!
Kidnapping!
And in a few short hours there will be Janaye's party, a minute countdown with the ball. And a whole new year.
And what an amazing year it was. A fantastic senior year goes into a great summer, a heartwrenching goodbye, into an amazing new experience. Adjusting might have been hard but it taught me a lot. I know who my pillars of strength are.
You've been with me forever. Meghan, you are the best friend I could possible have. You have always, always, always been there. Whether from the other side of Amsterdam, or from 4 hours away at Keuka, I know that it only takes a phone call or a message online, and I will instantly have someone to talk to who will instantly support me. I love you. Dom, as much as I sometmes want to kill you, I guess I love you too. I depend on you more than I'd like to, but I think that you do the same to me. College might have been tough, but I've learned a lot, and I think its much for the better! Shane!! Oh how this year has changed everything! I've learned so much from you. I respect you. Even if sometimes I'd like to strangle you. You've definately mellowed, and are an amazing person. I've really enjoyed hanging out with you so much lately! Matthias, oh the good times and the bad. But you have always been there when I really needed you, even if you used me for my pool! I guess ultimately you can't get rid of the person who changed how you live!! Marc and Nani..my other power rangers!! Nani I miss you soooo much!! And Marc, I'm glad all of our disagreements have just brought us closer! Steve how many days did we end up at your house chilling on the couch? Or at mine fighting in the pool? So glad that Meghan asked you to semi and we met!! Bri and Alex, you just had to go so far away! I miss the times that we've had. Bri...under the blankets!! Janaye and Krista, I miss seeing you every day in high school! We don't talk enough.
Then there are the people that I've only known a few month. Joe, my mind reader, and my defender, well sometimes. You're the one at RPI that I can talk to about anything (poor you)! Zack. You are an evil asshole! Oh yeah...can I have a massage?? Please? Wilson, you are spending too much time with Zack. But I know your weakness! And you got me hooked on pictionary! UGH! Mike, OMG you've finally been initated! I hate you! You saved me last semester, and I can't promise anything, but if you ever need anything you've only to ask. Chris...oh but which one am I talking about. First Biamonte...feel comfotable talking to you, even if you are always busy playing WoW. Arca...I'm glad that even lately that we got to know each other and talk. Even if it is only because I'll make you hot chocolate! I don't see your assholeness. Luke! I almost forgot you! And that woudl have made me sad. I can't imagine why you would drop engineering...well maybe because its like death... Lindy, my wonderful roomate. I'm so glad that we get along as well as we do. I couldn't think of a better roomate. Rachel, oh my first girl friend! We might be very different in some ways, but I soo appreciate your friendship! You're a wonderful person!
And now the future. Its so promising. One year of college down! I can't wait for another good year. Oh sure there will be bad parts. Fights and failures, but I have amazing friends and I can't wait for more memories! So I hope everyone has a happy and healthy New Year!!
