Subject: Being "all done" with Marching Band and my senior year philosophy.
Whew... last game, gone. Banquet, gone. I am officially a marching band alumni. That thought has plagued me since Friday night after the banquet. There are a few moments that I do not remember- Lucky for me, Kate does, and continually reminds me of them. Most of them I'd rather forget anyway. Anyway, Trish, Em, Chris, Kate, and Matt got to reap all the "benefits" ofme being semi-sad. (I guess Tony got some too) What a disaster. Let me say first, that I did have an amazing time at the banqet. It was SO MUCH fun. It was another "Ohmygosh-I-am-so-sore-from-dancing" night... and it was great. Aside from grinding up on Matt Brown (hahahaha!!!), the night was filled with laughter and wine. It was so much fun. I was upset at 3 parts... the alma mater, when I danced with Bruce, and Piano Man. I was semi-sad all night for another reason, but the wine easily cured that. I just had it in the back of my mind that this was the last time I was going to get to do all that awesome stuff with these people.
Which brings me to my senior year philosophy.
This whole year is about reconnecting. I mean, it's about a thousand other things, but I am most experiencing the reconnecting thing right now. For example (and just because it is the most recent), Tim Clark. He's someone that I have always respected and loved, especially fraternally, because this kid is an amazing brother. But we've never been especially close at all. After senior toast, we ended up talking online (in our shared drunken oblivion) for about an hour and a half, and it was just cool to get to chit-chat (even if it was drunk!) with him. Another one is Kelly Trabucchi, a really great sister and really cool person that I always knew but never knew well. It's the randomness of reconnecting with people that makes me think this year is so amazing, even if it is so sad!
And it is really sad!
Speaking of sad, I saw RENT today with Mandy, Holly, and Tim. It was really sad and made me think a lot. I never cry at the movies (and no, I didn't cry during RENT), but I really could have cried if I was in the right mood for it. But it was fun.
Aiight... peace out.
