I can hardly believe this year. It has fallen through my fingers faster than hot sand. There has been more laughter than tears, and more adventure than fear. I guess I can say I've done well for myself. I've met some interesting people, seen some new things, and experienced events I never thought feasable. I've been brave and sought out the fact that no one here knows me, but still have not recreated myself. I still Emily Ann Miller from Decatur, Alabama, and I don't think anything about that will ever change. I've been told that the best achievement, and most difficult challenge in life is really getting to know yourself. Well, thank you Tuscaloosa, I think we've done it. One thing I've not done this year is get my heart broken... and that's probably because I haven't dated anyone. For an entire school year, I've been single Emily. I like single Emily. Single Emily gets more stuff done, and single Emily pours herself into her friendships. And though I haven't had my heart broken by some guy, my heart will break on May 12th, as I pack my stuff to return home from the land of the Tutwiler. Amy's going to Spain for the Summer, Kelli's moving to Birmingham to start law school at Samford, and Emily's going home to Birmingham until the fall when we'll return to Tuscaloosa together. This summer is going to be hard, and different. This summer will break my heart. My rocks and I are split, and I'm going to be a little blue for a while, but I know I'll make it. They're my girls and that's about all there is to it.
