Later Gator

Tonight is my last night in Holy Cross House and my last night as a STU student. I have officially completed my Bachelor of Arts degree and even after four years I can still remember my first week at STU back in September of '06.

I made sure to spend tonight the same way we used to spend a lot of nights throughout the last four years... all of us hanging out, eating pizza, watching tv and talking about anything and everything, but nothing of any importance. And thank you to everyone who came to my room tonight, even if it was just for a few minutes or a few hours, it meant a lot to me to get to spend my last night with you guys! To everyone who is staying in Holy Cross next year, hold down the fort! Keep it fun and random and sketchy!

Tomorrow I move home from Fredericton for the last time. Thank GOD for that! I can't even count the times that I've lugged suitcases, bins and boxes to and from my room. I have way too much shit. A yardsale this summer is more than necessary.

At the Toga-Q a few weeks ago I received a lot of wonderful warm and fuzzies and I feel bad because I didn't do all that many due to my level of intoxication. I know that only 2 people read my blog, but I want to write a little something for each person that I may have left out when I wrote my warm and fuzzies. (Also, Schlee, sorry about all of the sketchy warm and fuzzies. Seriously, though, I'm pregnant with your child... don't be a deadbeat)

Melissa - I'll put you first because I'm pretty sure you're one of the two people who read my blog. Thanks for that. I always think of you as one of the fourth years and I'm not entirely sure why. It's probably because you've been such an amazing friend and it's like I've known you for four years. Thank you for letting me come to you about classes and venting in general, and thank you for trusting me with your problems. I hope you know that I'm always an email away if you ever need anything. Have an amazing last year at STU and make sure to go out with a bang like we did! I miss you already! Love you.

K-Cum - Person number two who reads my blog, which is fair because it's your fault I even have one of these things! Ohhhh Katelin... the awkward happenings in your life brighten my day. Please keep updating your blog so that I will never be sad when I'm out west. And please keep not wearing pants in front of unsuspecting friends.. I promise you it will only make you closer with that friend. I feel like our friendship has reached a new level. It may be a much more awkward level, but we're closer nonetheless. I'll miss you very much next year and I'll be sure to message you when I need a good laugh :) I have no doubt you'll have a great final year, hopefully your thesis doesn't consume your life. Stay in touch! Love you, K-Cum.

Hannah - I meant what I said in my warm and fuzzy. Now, I might not remember how exactly I worded it, but I know I threatened your life. I know you'll stay in touch though.. either because you'll miss me or because you know I'll be living near your idol. Either way, I'll be happy to hear from you and all of the hilarious things that go on in house committee. Hang my art in the hall with pride and warn the next girl that lives across the hall from you that if she doesn't talk extremely loud on the phone than she's not doing a good job at entertaining you. Keep this hallway the bright and fun place it has always been! I'm pretty sure I'll never have another neighbor who will have the patience to put up with me. Enjoy the rest of your years at STU and don't waste a moment, the next three years are going to fly by. I better see you guys on spring break next year! Lud ya, dawg. xo

Angela & Morgan - you two go together because you're a package, husband and wife. (was it Angela was the husband and Morgan the wife?) You guys have been really fun to live with and I'm glad I got to know both of you better. Your last year is going to be a ton of fun and I'm sad I won't be here to party it up with both of you, especially in your new apartment! Good luck in your last year and if you both don't come visit me on spring break like you PROMISED, I'll come back and write more racial slurs on your white board! Also, make sure to go to the welcome week Toga-Q and get the newbies hammmered! I'll miss you both. xoxo

Adam - you're just such a wonderful person. I have a wonderful year next year, I hope to see many pictures of walks downtown on beautiful sunny days. Make sure to take many market trips and buy mini doughnuts just for me! They're my favorite part about downtown! I'm going to miss you, Adam. Take care! :)

Craig - you're my boyfriend.. because I called you. Not on the phone, but more like "shotgun!" I saw there was a boy and I called him. Thank you for returning my love and not erasing your white board. Amanda + Craig = Love. Have a wonderful final year at STU and stay in touch! xo

Solak - you huge bitch. If you kill my Archie, I'll kill you. Same goes for my Schlee. Thanks for not buying my computer like you said you might, and thanks for being my friend, despite how much you resisted at first. Did I not tell you we were going to be the best of friends during one of our first conversations? Yes, that may be a tad odd from a person you barely know, but I knew that it would work. Now we will be best friends forever. Can you start posting pictures that you take so I don't forget what you and Schlee look like? haha Seriously Solak, I'm going to miss you. :)

Faye, Joe, Kate and Ash... I'm not writing anything on here because two of you are sitting right beside me and because I don't want to cry. I'll miss all of you, though, to say the least. Love you all.

So I guess this is goodbye, STU. It's been wonderful.

Later Gators.

With Love, Gouldie
