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
The Wednesday section was just better at their charades than the Thursday section, NDB. :)
ReplyDeleteWe should DEFINITELY have a peer mentor reunion sometime during the summer - there's just so many of us sticking around! Good luck on your finals as well!

ReplyDeleteCharades was so much fun! I am excited for Summer. Let's just cross our fingers that it actually feels like summer instead of Winter like it did part of this week. Seriously SNOW in MAY!?! I hope you have a good time in your new apartment and that you get all settled in soon.
ReplyDeleteHave a good summer and an awesome finals week (if that is possible.)
Stephanie and Josh were not so lucky at drawing, but the original intention was for you all to be able to speak. You were all too good at the game, I had to make it challenging! I'm sad I won't be around for summer bonding :( If you all get together, you should Skype me in! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a great summer!
Time sure did fly this semester. Especially April. That month was a blur but it was filled with some pretty awesome times. I'm sure there will be many more to come. :)
