The End is So Very Near
Happy Finals Week guys! We've officially (almost) made it to summer! I hope everyone's finals schedule is nothing too difficult; and if it is, don't worry - you'll do great! :)
As I write this post on this chilly Sunday morning, I can't help but think how fast the time goes! Honestly, the calendar says it's been four months, but it doesn't seem possible! I've gotten to know everyone much better and our "team dynamic" is something that I am greatly looking forward to continuing in the fall. Although I am disappointed that Tanner and I will not get to wear the color purple at the retreat, we decided that if there were alternatives, like red, we could handle it and come up with something almost as cool as Purple Squad (nothing will beat Purple Squad!).
I am officially moved into my new apartment for the summer! I still have quite a bit of organizing to do and I was a little sad to leave my roommates and Freddy Court. Freddy served me well this past year and unlike Larch, I will miss it (just a little). However, I am already liking the Grove a lot better than Freddy. I've met one of my new roommates, Meredith, and she seems really cool and nice. I look forward to getting to know her better. I have yet to met my second roommate, Katie (yeah, two Katie's in one apartment!).
In class on Wednesday, we played charades. I must say, I have no idea how I knew as many as I did. I must just be a really good guesser (which may come in handy during some finals! Ha! [just kidding, but seriously...]). I still think the Thursday team should have won - Stephanie and Josh had some really, really hard ones to act out. Peas and carrots!? Impossible without words - they could have quoted Forrest Gump!! Haha.
Again, I wish everyone well during finals. I recall a lot of us are staying in Ames this summer - Don't become strangers! Have a wonderful summer, everyone, and if I don't see you over the summer, I'll see you again in August! :)
Until then,
Katie
