last night dee picked me up from work and we drove to the chicken burger. we listened to oldies all the way down and when we got there we each had 4 quarters for the jukebox. we sat and ate ice cream and smiled. it was so perfect and for some reason i felt that i might even cry. it just made me think of how nice that drive down to bedford was, listening to "only you" and laying your arm out the window to feel the cool night air, and how in two weeks it will only be a memory to look back to when you're taking the bus to school everyday. i wish i could just keep everyone with me or at least that all our plans and dreams aligned so that the people i love the most would always be close to me. there is nothing like the overwhelming feeling of friendship. sometimes i sit back and recline from the conversation and think about how much luck it is for me to find such a great group of friends. and even though there can be petty differences and sometimes someone's feeling are hurt they still retain that sense of something unbreakable and strong. even though sometimes it's hard to see when everyone get so busy during the school year with their own lives. how is it possible that i should meet so many great people? and to call them my friends is one of the greatest compliments i've ever gotten. this entry sounds really sappy and stupid i know but i woke up this morning and it was on my mind. and i don't know why but i feel like maybe i should say it more often: how much i have enjoyed knowing all of you. so here is what i hope for all of you but i'm not going to name any names....i'll just let you figure it out:
-no matter how busy we get with each others lives you are like a sister to me and i know that we'll know each other even in old age.
- you are one of the most hardworking and honest people i have ever met: you deserve every success that comes your way and i hope you come back next summer for more beach time.
- even if your plans fell through i hope maybe a new home in halifax will give you some sense of escape and if it doesn't work out that way we'll have to break up the monotony of dartmouth and do something crazy...
- you have always been extraordinarily unselfish and have always worn your heart on your sleeve. i love you for it and i want to do the same.
-even though it's such a cliche to say it losing someone you loved for so long really, really will make you stronger in the long run.
-i've never seen anything but admirable qualities in you: i look up to you for your kindness and compassion.
- i hope everything is going well where you are. dartmouth won't be the same without you...
