end of semester update
this has been a very strange semester. we got Jenna back. my great-aunt has cancer and is thinner and less aware every time i see her. my academic enthusiasm is less than normal. much less. i don't think i've read a single book for pleasure. i've gotten some really good feedback from my professors. we put out an awesome literary arts magazine. lots of my friends are graduating. i cry on an average of once every two weeks, which is a pretty far shot from my usual once a year. if that. i didn't break any bones or have any nosebleeds. one of my friends is pregnant. i feel like the only person i know who isn't dating someone. except for Stephie. go us. i guess. another of my friends is having a reeeeeally rough time. i got to see my sisters a lot. i turned 21. i can't remember back to the beginning of the semester. we inducted a new THE. i started developing a liking for someone and shot it in the bud. i took hundreds of pictures. i didn't get my ranger job. i got a different job. and a place to live for free. i'm nervous about this summer. i made cookies with the Scott and Mike. i opened up to some people more than i ever have. i bottled so much in it made me physically ill. i wrote a poem and got an honorable mention. i used my quota of allowed absences in a class for the first time. i kissed magnolia buds to make them bloom. i sat outside in the cold just to feel cold. i developed an ongoing twitch under my eye. i discovered that all of my stomachaches are in fact caused by my overzealous stomach acids, and it's not normal to wake up with a stomachache every morning. i tried out for a musical. i was a bad daughter/sister/friend. i was a good daughter/sister/friend. i tried.
