And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make
I didn't quite believe that I was a Senior until Opening Convocation a few weeks ago. I've seen three classes march into Twichell, but I never thought that all of my friends and I would parade in together, decked out in our class colors and wearing our graduation robes. To think that we'll be doing that again in only a few months is a bit unnerving, but I'm optimistic about all of the great plans we'll be making. I'm just trying to enjoy this year with all of my wonderful friends.  
When I'm not doing my crazy amounts of homework, I mostly spend time with my friends. A big group of my friends went to Jason's Deli for lunch last Sunday before finishing off our 10th Kingdom marathon. After a week of being in bed with the flu like a hermit, I was very happy to leave the room and hang out with my friends last weekend. As mentioned by Anne in her blog entry, we went to the Spartanburg International Festival. I was still feeling a bit ill and unlike myself, but we had so much fun. The honored country this year was China, so I helped out at the Chinese booth for a while since my Chinese teachers from Wofford were there doing calligraphy for the kids. There were also Scottish bagpipers and an Italian booth! My favorite part is always when all of the children wave their flags and march around the park during the cute little cultural parade. The weekend before the Festival, my Chinese classmates and I performed some children's songs and poems for a really cool Chinese festival at Wofford. It was really fun (and mildly embarrassing), but I was really grateful that a big group of friends from Converse came to support my friend Caroline and me. I have included a few pictures of our adventures.  
 
 
This week was a bit stressful because I had my teaching assistantship interview and some makeup work to do for my classes. I was pretty nervous about the interview, but I think it went okay. My friends and I celebrated the end of the application process by getting all dolled up for a night out on the town. We discovered a new restaurant that we like and listened to a funky jazz band that performed there. This week will probably be pretty hectic since fall break is next week, but I'm excited about going home and spending a few days with my family.
