Salt Sweat Sugar

I've had this picture all semester but somehow it's eluded WilmingSloan for all this time. In the end it's perhaps more fitting that I post it now, on the last day of classes, since it was taken on the first. UNCW did a big firework display right outside my dorm to "kick off" the school year and I just happened to be right next to some roving reporters looking for the usual village idiot commentary. Happily I obliged.
It makes a neat desktop wallpaper if nothing else.

So the semester is over? Well, there are still those exam things but they'll be over in another second. I'll never again enter the warming comfort of my beloved first semester classrooms. It's almost sad. After just one more semester I'll no longer be a new kid. I'll be that slightly new kid and there will be all these new little freshmen. I guess it's just a part of getting older. I'm at the point where all I can do is study and cross my fingers for what comes next. Hopefully I'm not a total academic failure. If I am I'll pick up the slack in January. GOODBYE SWEET FALL SEMESTER. You held many laughs...some sad times, some sweet times. I saw my oldest sister get married and I saw my dorm room ceiling for hours as I lay sick in bed. I waddled through the political marsh of an election and met so many good, kind, and occasionally extremely attractive people. All in all, I loved you, dear dear sweet semester. It is my sincerest hope that you truly rest in peace.

...Tina come get your HAM!

Hello..hello good friend, if I may. I was just reading your little online diary and found that you have talked about what a great semester that you have had, I am glad for you..although I do think that one girl in particular is to blame for the end of the semester being so grand. I am glad however for you, don't get me wrong. I think that you guys are cute, I just don't like the fact that you have lied to my face about everything..if you love her and not me then that is perfectly fine..I didn't want you anyway!

I am glad that your semester went well. I'm sure that hours looking at your ceiling were not all because you were sick. But I will say that you did learn to come out of your room eventually. Which is nice because you do always put a sarcastic swing on things. Although, of late I have not seen your face as much, is that because you have been busy with at certain other person? Maybe the person that you have found so attrative lately? I don't know, but anyways Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, and Happy Kwonza, and Felize Navidad!By the way, you only live like 30 mins from me, so if you are bored over break we can get together, of course i am sure that you will be busy making things with you dad. Have fun with that!
With Much Love,
Amelia
