I need to stop saying "needless to say"... it's been in my past two entries. I tend to be a bit repetitive in my writing.

Spring Orientation rocked hard. I just want to take this time to say that I love my New staff for next year. Y'all are crazy cool. I can't wait to work with such a young and motivated group of people. And Parkside? Thanks for the memories. I had a good time at the banquet, despite my reluctance. In honor of the "shout-outs" at the banquet, I'm doing my own version, replete with pictures.

I love my suite-heart, Nitin. We fight like cats and dogs... but we're still best buddies. And Alex? I'll never forget all that you've done for me... from teaching me how to drive a stick-shift to cooking all of that rice for the Hunger Banquet - You're the best "house hubby" ever.



Yael - my busty beauty. Much love.



PIRC South - it's been real. Way to be the "rebels" of the Parkside area. Meesh, you've become more than just my supervisor - you're my friend.



I'm gonna miss Derya, aka "pretty tall girl!"



Evan and Shawn - y'all are TOO DAMN HOT... actually, the whole apartment staff is pretty hot.



BMH - We started off on a bad foot, but we're ending the year in a beautiful waltz.



And the Birnkrant Beauties will always amaze me with their talent and love for life.



The year's almost over, but the memories will never die. Being an RA has been the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I can't believe all that I've accomplished... and next year will only be better, thanks to all of the things that I've learned. It's bittersweet right now. I've loved Parkside and Ellie and my staff... but not everything has been so rosy or happy. I cope well with change - and I think New will be a wonderful match for me. It's still hard to say goodbye.
