Subject to revision.
-I love college. I love college. I love love love love love love college still.
-Since last year around this time, much has changed.
-I have learned the correct way to say "Life Assessment" in German.
-A lot of the things I put in my life assessment last year are not important.
-In less than a year, I'm going to be in England. I said this last year too, but this time it's true.
-The reason I'm not in England right now is that I discovered I cannot live a year without my friends. In just four months I fell in love with them all.
-Spring semester 2008 was the most horrible time of my life. I do not have the words to explain how painful it was. Surviving from 20 December 2007 to 29 April 2008 was literally the hardest thing I have ever done.
-Africa is waiting for me. I can feel it pulling me.
-I am in a relationship. I spent several minutes debating whether to put "finally" at the beginning of the previous sentence. Though I decided against it, the sentiment stands. Like never before, I sometimes feel pretty.
-Until this week, I had never been homesick in my life. I miss the Mississippi River and the beauty in everything, driving on Union, Otherlands bagels, MPC, my home friends.
-I have an incredibly difficult time believing people love me.
-My ultimate goal is not entirely out of reach.
-I hate my job copy editing for the newspaper. There is no reason I should dread going to work 16 hours a week to be constantly shot down and paid what comes to about $2.50 an hour. But I have less than two months left.
-I wanna live in a house down by the bay, / where I can sit spitting watermelon seeds all day, / and do my only work in the kitchen, / making corn bread, collard greens, and fried chicken all the time. / I don't wanna go to jail again, / I'm too in love with all my friends, / but who in the world knows where I'll end up next?
-I'm a pretty good counselor, but I have a lot to learn. VCing has shown me a lot about Lakeshore that I'm not sure I wanted to know, but it is still my favorite place. I want very much to spend my summer there next year. I really miss those people.
-Driving by myself is the best way I know to relieve stress, calm down, handle my life, stay strong. For me it is a lot more than turning a wheel.
-Papercuts. Are. The worst.
-I still don't floss. I just can't do it.
-The combination of my busyness and that of my college friends leads me to miss people who live a quarter mile or less from me. I hate that schoolwork and work take me away from people I love and that I have to schedule regular meeting times to keep in touch with friends who go to school with me.
-I love, however, that nearly everyone is together, at least geographically. Next semester will be even better--for the first time, we will all be together at once.
-I probably like you a lot.
