| end of a great year |
| 05.27.04 (3:10 am) [edit] |
As I come to the end of finals week, awaiting the last one, I look back on all of the greatest memories i've had-in this year and reflecting back on previous years. Wow :!: From coming here to Rose first back as a 'catamonkey' after my junior year in high school until now i've had a lot of exciting times just on this campus, let alone everywhere else i've been. I've been increadibly blessed! To see my catapult councilors is sad. At least swimmah dave is going to be around for grad school. It's been increadibly wonderful to get to know the seniors, but I will greatly miss them all. Possibly never going to see them again is really a weird feeling. The same feeling when I graduated hs. Some of my classmates i quite frankly didn't care if i ever saw them agian, but still it was weird to think i never would be able to even if i wanted to see them. Then it's happening again, just like every year in high school. Now to hear about it from Meg, about how she should have been friends with people earlier whom she just started to get to know this year, it makes me know the exact feeling. especially with her. I suddenly am having weird feelings in the pit of my stomach about going back home. It won't be the same i know. I mean everyone else has changed. I have especially grown a LOT this past year. I've broadened my sights of many things, enjoyed more types of things, learned way too much for my own good, gained many many great life-long friends, and spent way more time than i had planned here at rose enjoying the company of people i like. It's true when I was about to come here last fall I expected to not get along with anyone. That's why I roomed with robinson. he was at least a normal guy. I didn't want some weird tool as a roommate. It worked well i suppose, we got to know each other. On the other hand, my best friends and I have grown apart. ironic. i miss my old friends so much, yet now i miss my new friends here already. even the people i've loved to hate here and on my floor i'll even miss. like kimberly just said i won't even be able to have the same grammar at home, the inside jokes and lingual jargin we've adapted to describe our everyday occurances on the "toolish" campus. why do we have such a hard time letting go and moving on to new steps in our lives, when we just want to hit pause and live the current moment for ever? sometimes i wish that everything would be stable and have normal lives of the people out in the real world, but then i think that these moments, right now, are the times when that define our lifes and character forever. I'm living right now the time what everyone else wants to live forever: our happier younger days. i've grown up before my own eyes without realizing it. Even this year from the beginning through frosh orientation, rush, associate period, URBANA, drama, IVC, making increadible friends, having floor dinner with an awesome group of 40 men-future engineers and scientists (which is a neat thing in itself), banquet, the parties -especailly FOAM, building PIKE CLUB, the workdays and painting the house, football season, having my letters thrown at me (thanks tim), the firsts of certain things, end of the year floor cookouts, seeing RENT with whitney, seeng whitney's cabaret with dave and planning the yet-to-come trip through canada and the eastern coast, the IU-PU football game and all of the Purdue games, Pike day & ditching the baseball game to go see the pacers with hassler, going to the pacer v heat game in the 4th row with cameron, initiation, ingress, housing assignments, spending v day with the ladies upstairs, all the times with meg and driving home and back just to see her for a while, having an obsession with Opera browser, and with musicals with dave, painting ghostbusters after homecoming and going to IHOP with latex warpaint all over me, painting RENT on the wall, going to Marian colllege, being scared to death by TX chainsaw massacure, and now every scary movie, going to see the matrix and lotr with nearly the entire floor and looking around to see all rose people, ARA food, west wing 'dates' with paul, making fun of the SA's even though they are two of the nices guys i've ever met, group projects in CS and ECE, having my very own napkin dispenser from the generous dining hall, having the best big brother matt voll, and meeting his girlfriend ashley, and beautiful daughter kyra, playing my first video games in 3D, and letting bob let me win a few, having a campfire on our beautiful beach, driving to st. louis to see a baseball game just for sammy, having sammy as a president, buying fish with my sister and spending a night or two with her to always 'fix her computer' ( i know she just missed me :wink: ) , and lots more but i've gotta go to bed so i can take my last final in ECE!!!... sadness...wow fire alarm in the middle of the morning/night...idiots!...bon soir, mon amour.
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

| RENT |
| 05.10.04 (10:56 pm) [edit] |
~ In memory of Johnathan Larson ~
We (Dave & I) painted the RENT tour logo on the wall. Come see it on BSB II, in front of the south stair case. Most people like it. Paul hates it, probably because he's homophobic. He said he knows musicals and he doesn't like rent: draw your own conclusions, because mine is he couldn't get past his bigotry to see what the musical has to offer about life-regardless of sexual preferences. Others on my floor (also homophobic) know very little about rent, only that it's a musical, and say I should have chosen a different mural. I chose it for a reason people!! Open your minds and don't be retarded-it's not about being gay-watch it! Go! I'm not gay and I like it. Have compassion!
