Assorted Memories from the end of Junior Year:

cooking for the Junior/Senior dinner with Amy and Nicole--we absolutely destroyed the kitchen and ate the most perfect avocados straight out of their shells with spoons, everyone dancing ("freestyling" even) after the dinner to Ace of Base's It's A Beautiful Life, napping after the math final in my room with the windows open and the afternoon sun pouring in, walking wobbly-legged out of the Newton final with the sweet knowledge that the hard part was over, partying after the philosophy final at steckel park--drinking cold beer in the heat and chain-smoking camel silver cigarettes, dinner at the Ranch House later Friday night with my family and my sister's fiance's family (they have some of the best creme brulee I've ever tasted and there are little purple flowers that shower down onto the tables from the canopy of vines), the large and awesome party at Mr. K's house on Saturday night (there was dancing outside on a rented dance floor, and cheese, and candles and plenty of beer), dinner at the F.'s house on Sunday evening with the sun filtering through the leaves of the live oak and plenty of wine, homemade bruschetta and good cheer (we, of course, sang hymns from the Heavenly Highway Hymns hymnal after dinner and I was so happy that I started crying), dancing and singing at the top of my lungs with my roommate and my bestie while packing up my things for storage over the summer, driving back from LBA with K-money while the sun was slipping behind the mountains and leaving behind a haze of blue and purple, stopping to eat massive quantities of Taco Bell and washing it down with diet Coke and cigarettes...
