Bittersweet Wednesday

Today is the last time I'm going to be in class with several of my good friends. Who over the course of my first year in the NEOMFA have become my best friends and people that I think the world of. I am so glad to see everyone of them finish the program and I think that the world is their oyster, but I can't help feeling that this program will be very different. I will never get to car pool weekly with Jay, Jen, and Kristina, or get a great poetry comments in workshop from Amy, Lindsey, and Sara. I going to really miss having Dawson around in class because I felt that he some how kept me in line with goofy bets about me not talking. I going to miss talking to Rick in the grad. office about everything one can think of. I also going to miss Emily and how she always has something great to say, and is never afraid to say it. But I truly mean this to everyone who has help me survive my first year thank you. And to all of my friends finishing the program congratulations.

So if you see me get a little teary eyed tonight just call me some names. I might say I have allergies, but it's really that I going to miss having these guys around.


PS will someone tell me if we're going out after class tonight.

I don't know. That I'm really a closet sentimental person who cries. Oh, you were talking about going out to Pints, I don't know a lot of people have things they are doing. So maybe I guess we are going there. In any case I did bring my camra so what ever happens there will be pictures of the event.

Frank, you're sweet. And you know I won't miss the last night out with my Akron peeps. I may be sobbing before it's over.

Frank, my favorite thing about you has always been how much you enjoy listening to me say great things.

Did you know that, without me, you would be driving the wrong way down a one way street?
