• McDaniel is home
• Time with my Little is absolutely irreplaceable
• Seeing Jess Mies brightens everything
• My Twin is the greatest source of love and fun
• No matter what or when or whatever Torreke and I are just linked
• I could listen to Toni sing for hours
• My Grandlittle is precious and I'm so glad we fit well together
• The new members all have so much promise and potential, and I hope they make the most of their years here because I think they're capable of awesome things
• Seeing my lovely ladies work hard and have fun doing it is such a blessing. I can't express how alive their spirits are and how capable they are of taking on the world.
• Those boys are a hilarious delight and I smile every time I'm around them. I feel like I'm safer with these teddy bears by my side.
• Gabe is absolute sunshine
• Alexa makes me feel warm. It's such a great feeling.
• I feel like I can talk to Jen about anything and she just gets me, which is awesome.
• I'm already an emotional person so me saying "I cried" or "I got emotional" doesn't carry much weight but there was an indescribable feeling in my heart watching everyone sing in their Musical Theatre class. It's a mix of awe and nostalgia and maybe a little longing to exist in a creative space again where people actually WANT to make art 24 hours a day. I just missed these voices. Specifically these voices.
• I've missed Moises
• Time stops on this campus. The outside world doesn't matter. It's just the Hill. I know I am glad to be gone because wow does college drain you and after a while you outgrow it. But it felt like the best possible vacation I could take right now honestly.
• The show is so so so so so so good.
• It's nice to feel loved
• My body has felt strange since I got there. I don't know why. I can't describe it. I feel like Zuko during his metamorphosis, though less extreme on the physical toll. I don't even know exactly what's changing but it just feels like a transition is coming.
• Less than 4 months until Canada
