I haven't done the obligatory "Reflect on 2009 and get excited for 2010" post yet....
So I guess I'll do that now!
I was reflecting the other morning (okay, in the shower, I admit it) about how much stuff happens for a reason. Steph and Amelia left BU and while that still makes me want to cry a little bit, it definitely happened for a reason. If they had stayed at BU there probably would have been a better lotto number in the mix, and we'd be living together. And that would mean no MA3. And that would be depressing. Times a million.
I love MA3. I think we all hit the usual October "We're living together and I can't stand any of you anymore" but Thanksgiving break did everyone good, I think. I feel like since Thanksgiving we've been doing really well. I love our group sooo much. There are flaws in everyone of course, but I think we're great as a group. Secret Santa was one of my favorite times ever. And walking back from the BU-BC game was awesome. It was snowing and freeezzzing cold, but that night just sticks. Me, Becca, Katie, Katie, Brittany, and Josh. We sang Christmas carols at the tops of our lungs (while Katie O. inserted "FUCK BC" wherever she felt appropriate) and wrote FUCK BC in the snow on the cars. It was great.
It's a little funny that all of MA3 who have written this entry spent a lot of it reflecting on the floor. But, it's also not funny. Our floor has really made an impact on everyone, I think. So many of us came into this year really looking for friends, and we ended up on MA3 for a reason. Katie Papa said it, and I agree... I've never been one for being friends with a huge group, but I love ours. I feel comfortable being myself, and there aren't a lot of people I feel that way with anymore. I'm much happier this year and my grades and such were soo much better. I think it's amazing what a group of friends can do, because I totally attribute a lot of those things to having a good group of friends.
I really am excited for 2010. I want to spend more time with MA3 and I want to introduce our freshmen boys to a bunch. Now, I'm not a partyer, so I can leave all of that up to some of the other girls but the boys haven't even experienced other dining halls. I wanna get out and walk the city with them. I wanna go out to dinner all together again. I want to be with them a lot. We're already half way through our time together. But I also want to make sure we spend enough time apart. I want to be a better friend. I want to hang out with people more. I want to chill on esplanade in the spring with late night and quack at people. I basically want this semester to be like the last, with maybe less of a lull in the middle. I want to get to know these people even better.
I'm excited for ballet to reenter my life. I'm excited to spend a great spring semester with great people. I'm excited to live on my own in Boston this summer. I'm excited to feel great about who I'm living with next semester. I'm excited to spend more time with my favorite boys. I'm excited to leave the country for the first time AND go to my dream vacation spot. I'm excited (and nervous) about being half way done with my under graduate career. I'm just excited for 2010, and I'm most excited to spend it with people I love and who love me.
I loved 2009. I love MA3. I can't wait to love 2010.
