And it's gone!

Well, there it goes. Another Christmas come and gone.

I realize that most of you are heaving a huge sigh of relief that it has finally passed, hoping that my holiday fervor might have cooled a bit. All I can hope is that it has not, and that I can only feel this way all year long. Wouldn't you just LOVE me then?

Anyway, I just want to say that I truly do love this day, because it is the one day out of the whole year that I really remember to be thankful and give thanks to everything I have that I might take for granted.

So I just want to say, at the risk of sounding corny, that I give thanks for all of you. I give thanks that I can attend a wonderful school like Webster, and that it has given me the opportunity to be among so many wonderful people that I am lucky enough to count as friends. Some of you I feel like I've known forever, and some of you I can only hope I can get to know better in the coming year.

I give thanks for the BPC, and the bad Marletto's food, and the 2 am trips to McDonald's, and all the tweens who fester around Ronnie's. I give thanks for the late night fire drills, and the last-minute papers, and the lounge with stains all over the couches and the floors. I give thanks for the fellowship we have formed, and the great times we have whenever we are together. I honestly feel as much as home on 2L as I do whenever I come home, and that is something that I don't think a lot of my other friends can boast about their college.

Anyway, I hope that all of you had the merriest of Christmases, that Santa was good to you, and that all of your holiday wishes came true. I hope you are all staying safe and warm, and staying out of trouble (haha). I'm thinking about all of you constantly, and can't wait until the 17th, when I will get to see all of you again.

Allright, well now that I am crying my eyes out alone in the darkness of my own room, I must go to bed. I have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks. After all, Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and it's time to think of ways to decorate the room...
