No-one is posting on my friend's list, that makes me cranky. I like to have regular new reading material. Not that I'm entitled to it, or anything, it's just fun.
Anycase, Finals are over. I did the last one yesterday. Then me and my perpetual roomie took turns ringing the bell and taking pictures of the other one ringing the bell. We also took pictures around campus (we got on the football field! :)). I went to work, and then my Older Younger Brother (OYB) took us to Dave and Buster's as our "escort" (he prefers this term to "designated driver"). It was actually a lot of fun. Getting slightly tipsy and then playing games really makes for a good evening.
Today me and the roomie went to the Senior Breakfast. I've got three more events I'll be attending: an "Official Bell Ringing" (I'm going for the alumni t-shirt), the Center for Global Education Sash Ceremony, and a honors society initiation. Hopefully, it won't be as lame as the other one I went to.
Tomorrow I graduate. As I did before leaving Vienna, I wanted to do a retrospective of sorts. Of course, this is four years of life, growth, and struggle, kinda hard to do. Thus, I give you...The differences between me and my roomie.
When we first met, I was glad to meet someone shyer than me. Turns out I wasn't shy, just inexperienced. I'm outspoken, Julie is softspoken.
I'm a carnivore by nature, Julie literally does not like meat.
I'm very adventurous about food, Julie took convincing to try non-pepperoni-and-cheese pizza.
I'm a violinist, she's a french horn player.
We're both in orchestra, but she's in marching band, too.
I plan out of fear, she plans for fun.
I'm from the country, she's from a suburb of Dallas. (The first time I took her to the largest town nearest where I'm from, she was amazed that our theater had only 8 screens).
I'm visual, I love TV, reading, writing, anything like that. She's aural, her passion is music of almost any kind. (We improvised in solfedge the other day. We love being music majors)
She's the youngest, I'm a 2nd-born. (I'm the younger of us by a month, but we both feel I'm older than her)
My hair's wavy, hers is curly. I think we both envy the other a little about that.
Seeing these differences, I can't believe that I've known and lived with this lady for almost 4 years. We met in August 2005, as we moved into our dorm room for the first time. We've gotten along because: I made her help me fill out the "Roommate agreement form" in our Campus Guide the first week we lived together. We tried to be nice to each other, and respect the other's boundaries. I left every weekend. We are both darn smart, extremely analytical, and we share the same attitude about school: This is serious stuff, do it as well as you can.
She's leaving tomorrow. I'm gonna miss the heck out of her.
Until next time,
Greeny
