Down the Lane

Dear Readers,
I'm almost done with school! I can't believe it; it seems so close in my memory when I running on the playground of RC and thinking about how far away high school was. And now I'm almost done. Completely. Its ridiculous! And I'm not trying to think of it too much; trying to make it in Santa Barbara is daunting, but I'm confident that I can scrape by. But I'm not in the mood for the future right now readers. And the present is blah right now. So its the past that I can turn to.

Favorite memories from this semester:
-Sharyna (my roomie), the "comedy vampire"
-writing TONS of poetry
-chapel band awesomeness
-making tiramisu for my friends
-making food in general; I'm shamefully good at getting an al dente pasta
-cheap daffodils from Vons
-becoming completely addicted to the Food Network
-History of World Christianity: the class that has slowly sucked the soul from my body yet been the most healing thing at the same time. The world is a paradox.
-taking an hour out of every night for one whole week to learn all the steps to the Thriller dance
-having a car and yet taking the shuttle, and getting that good feeling when you know you're saving gas
-running around trying to find a vacuum
-visiting Maria and AmaDeus and playing their Steinway
-going to the beach at 6am to watch the sun rise
-orchestra tour: Disneyland: 8 hours of nonstop craziness!
-breakfast dates with Lucia Bostick
-playing the piano for fun
-meeting new people: Aimee, Megan, Anna, Sharyna, Lucia, Sarah, and so many more!
-writing letters
-making notebooks
-swimming!
-learning that I can actually function on 6 hours of sleep
-playing the crash cymbals in the orchestra
-learning how fast time really does go by

and so many more readers! I have 3 weeks, and am determined to make the most out of those weeks. Wish me luck!
