As yearbook signing season reaches its peak, I am always bound to write sentimental and emotional messages in peoples' books. After all, it is most likely my last impression. I have been rather resistant towards that request because I feel emotions flow too freely and are expressed too easily. But lately, I have come to think that that outlook is wrong.
Why? And why now?
I am writing this merely a few days before my graduation. My entire life up to now has been defined by the daily trudge to school, punctuated by holidays every now and then. It is likely, after graduation, that I will never see some of these faces again. That in and of itself is a huge part of why I am embracing sentiments. But more scarily, after graduation I will be thrown into a whole new game. It's like getting out of bed on a cold day -- you don't want to leave the nice and warm bed, but you have to.
What sentiments?
Though I will be missing most of my classmates, I want to give a shout out to two in particular. Cari and Elaine have dragged me through this year in TPP with their incessant nagging and making me correct all their layout issues. I'll be missing them both next year.
Any last thoughts?
I wish the best to Tonya, Sophie, and Zean as they deal with the many-headed Hydra that is TPP. The Hydra can be tamed, and I know that you are all competent enough to get your issues out on time with few mistakes. Good luck. Have fun.
