one more exam to go
my parents got here thursday and they took me, ashlee, nabil, and bill out to a nice dinner. which was fun. nabil made fun of me for wimping out on purdue. ashlee and i laughed a lot. and bill and my dad talked football. and i made fun of my mom.
i got 2.5 hrs of sleep wed night and then drank coffee when i got back from my exam... so i was wired. then i crashed and took a power nap. and then i totally ran out of energy.
i finished my chapter outlines for pe208 (8am tomorrow, woohoo!) and i’m tired, but i dont want to sleep. i don’t know what’s wrong with me. i’m not sad about leaving purdue.. but i’m really sad about leaving my friends, especially ashlee. so here goes my feeble attempt to put my thoughts into words. which as usual could result in utter disaster... but either way, i think it might make me feel better to let it out.
ashlee- i dont think i was ever as important of a friend to you as you were to me, but you truly pulled me through this year. i know i pissed you off a lot and you probably wanted to kill me sometimes... but hey, at least you never yelled at me! lol i thought you was about to a few times. that would have been scary. your family was always so welcoming to me, it made such a difference when i was so homesick at first to be able to go home with you and play with rose and sammers (haha cause we know how much i missed my dogs) and hang out with your family and friends. your retarded moments were frequent, but mine were even more so and i was so grateful to find someone who it was so easy to be myself with. and we all know you can burp louder than anyone which still cracks me up. i’ll miss you talking in your sleep (shouting obscenities) and your extreme gift in being able to say fuck more in one breath than anyone i know. you have been awesome. i hope we stay in touch and i really hope you come to visit me and the cute cowboys, you better. i know you will succeed, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. and try not to run into puppy boy for once. don’t play too much halo or drink too much or overdose on your advil. i am your mother so be good! ;-)
trish- well i’ve never met you but i sure hope i do. i know you’re ashlee’s best friend and i really enjoyed talking to you when she wasnt there! you give excellent advice and you’re always a riot. i will miss our chats with scuba steve. congrats on your graduation and good luck wherever you end up next year. wherever it is, you will be awesome.
meredith- thanks for being such a great friend. i had a blast at football games and getting our nails done... especially changing flat tires after getting our nails done... gossiping about the football players... you welcomed me into your home for easter when i was all alone and you were always up for having some fun. you better come visit, i’ll be back up here sometime when it’s not cold... i’ll miss you tons!
casey- you are awesome. you were really my first friend here and i remember how thankful i was my first day at training to find someone who was so friendly! everyone else i had met was really cold and not-talkative... so not the case with you. you are a sweetheart and i enjoyed all the time we spent together. no more math with maxin! yes! keep in touch and you and emily better get down to austin soon
emily- aka dorothy. you are hysterical. you even made hours with wes and naomi and marie bearable. you are always a blast and so entertaining to be around. thanks so much for everything, especially helping me use my dining dollars lol ;-) i can’t wait for you and casey to come visit me in austin... it’ll be crazy.
canada- i hope you liked your first year here! you are awesome and i hope you have fun with your new major and the rest of your years in the us. you’re pretty cool, despite being from canada. hehe just kidding. oh canadaaaa... our home and native land.... lol, i’ll miss you <3 texass
lindsey- you are so awesome. you always have a friendly and welcoming smile. and a wisecrack or two. anatomy lab was great even with the rat dissection, and i wish you the best of luck in the training program next year. you deserve it and seriously... if you ever travel with a team to texas, make sure you look me up!
brittany- you are hilarious. i wish you the best of luck next year you crazy cracker. haha i know i'm soo white. anyways i hope your life becomes less dramatic and i hope you find a boy toy or two wherever you end up ;-) you have my number and i expect to hear from you and see you sometime in texas.
nabil- thanks for trying. i’m sorry i don’t love it here as much as you do, but you put a lot of effort into trying to make me like it more and i appreciate your time and your concern. it was fun to be able to hang out with you and thanks for being there when i needed you. even if you make fun of me a lot and didnt like me for a long time, i hope we’re cool now ;-) i’ll try not to laugh when i’m around you
bill- it was always great to see a familiar face around campus, especially those first few weeks in the training room. you made me laugh whenever we talked and always brought my spirits up. plus it was kind of fun to brag to my buddies that i was friends with one of the football players. anyways, best of luck in football, i know you will succeed. keep in touch
ex-roommate who shall not be named- i know we had our differences, i know you hated me and i you. but good luck in the years to come. you weren’t all bad and maybe had circumstances been better i could have seen that. we had friendly moments, though few and far between. and at least we had no trouble figuring out that we should not be roommates. i hope you dont hold a grudge and i will try not to hold one either.
anyone else i didnt name because it’s 2 am and i’ve been packing and studying since 10 friday morning... thanks for everything, you made the year as fun as it could be. you guys that were in the training program at some point, it was great fun, even with a sometimes grumpy staff or seniors... or pretty much anyone. the program really helped me through the first semester, even if it wasn’t enough to make me happy here.
that ended up waaaaaay too long and sentimental and mushy. haha i'm such a dork, i guess its good that i admit it though. i guess it was what i needed to say though because i feel much better now that i've let it out. anyways i apologize lol i hope no one actually read that whole thing. i'm sure i got more than a few eyes rolling. but i need to get back to studying. moping around is getting me nowhere. goodnight
