"Lady Luck came and found Me"

(Little Shop Lyrics)

Anyway, I want to take a quick moment to express how I feel right now at this very moment.

I was just brought to tears by one of the greatest people I know. Tom, that comment you left me literally filled my eyes with tears. (As well as Allison and Kristen...I had to share this).

You surprise me. One day you can be a big lovable jerk, then, out of no where, you say something so meaningful that it brings people to tears.

I feel so lucky and blessed to have such amazing friends. Tom, Allison, Lindsey, Kristen, and Nicole are so amazing. No matter how far apart we are I can feel their love. You are lucky if you can find one true friend...I have five. I wouldn't replace them with any others. They mean the world to me and I don't know what I would do without them. It may seem difficult at times because we are all over the place, no where near one-another, but it is our love and memories that keep us going. Also the constant thoughts of what the future will brings us, what amazing memories we have yet to make....

I love all of you so much. Words cannot accurately describe my feelings for you all. You have helped to make me who I am today. I cannot imagine where I would be without you in my life. All I do is think of one of you (or all of you) and a smile appears on my face.

Making new friends is strange, and it is a work in progress...but no one can or will ever replace you...it's like that scene in Devil Wears Prada...
When Emily is finding a replacement for Andrea, she says, "You have some very large shoes to fill. I hope you know that."
Well, if anyone tried they would be in the same predicament, however, there is no possible way anyone can fill your guys' shoes....no matter how hard they tried....

I am now at a loss for words on the topic, and I am getting a bit emotional, no tears or anything like that just sappy and lonely....

So, for my own personal health.....I will change the subject.....

One more thing. Thank you Tom.

Thank you for that note and thank you for putting up with me. Thank all of you for putting up with me, and loving me, continuing to stand by me.

Now I really am changing the subject....

Ok, so I have my acting class this morning and I thought I was going to be late. So I am trying to hurry up, I get there and the teacher isn't there yet. So, we all just sort of hang out, talk, wait....and wait....Finally one kid gets up and says he was leaving. So we all contemplate if we should leave or not.. One other person had her number from the syllabus, so we call her... As it is ringing the kid who left called us and said she left an email saying she wasn't going to be in class...I could have slept in!!!!!!! Oh well...

Oh, and this is my longest day of the week, I only have three classes but I don't like walking back and forth from my dorm all day, so I usually leave at 8:30 and don't return until about 4. BUT, since my whole morning was blown, I had a dilemma. I decided to just hang out in the building, and do some work on my laptop (mind you I don't bring my laptop everyday, but for some reason today I brought it, thank God!). I actually started working on my one-act, The Funeral. I was told by my teacher from last year, to fix certain things and submit it. I kind of procrastinated this summer but I had nothing else to do. Now I am so excited about working on it! I wrote a whole 3 pages today, which when you are the writer is a lot. Then I had Lab Bio (a whole 2 hours later). We did another boring lab....in a few weeks we will start more interesting ones, like dissecting a squid (which will be fun, but not as fun as Allison an My pig, Raphael Hamlet the 17th). After that I grabbed some Burger King, and after another hour, I went to math. the teacher was late again and we got out early as usual. The content covered was also pretty simple...God Bless Mr. Stone!

Back at home base (my dorm)....I have done absolutely nothing. I talked to Kristen, we went on Google maps and located each other's dorms and waved to each other....

Tomorrow is Friday!!!!!!! This weekend I am going home!!!! And am going to the Cardinals Football game with the Sanchez family (minus Tom, sorry bud).....

And I have a big secret up my sleeve that I cannot tell you but if it happens I will let you know all about it, but until then anticipate it! (I know you hate that Allison!)

It is 9. I want to watch another movie tonight but I have some homework that I want to get out of the way....

I believe that is all for now.....
