Salvete!
So today, we're all moving out of our rooms. And we're all really sad about it, but so much happened yesterday that needs to be shared! First of all, there was the play, which was the best it's ever been! And there were many laughs (and perhaps a few tears :o) among the cast. Then we had our reception in Brock Commons, with all of you guys. It was amazing to see you all. After that, we had our final meal together, our banquet, and many heartfelt words and tears were shared among friends. We had a dance party afterwards, and that was undoubtedly one of our best times here. Believe it or not, we're a family now, and nothing will keep us from organizing our reunions at JCL, or even out in the ocean, deep sea fishing. From now on, small things we do will remind us of our time here, like playing certain songs on the guitar, or snuggling with our friends. Nothing will be the same. But we will miss each other, and until we see each other again, it will be as though a part of us is missing, and nothing else can fill it.
