weekend off

Last night we had a party in our room. A good 25 people showed up at one time or another, making for mass craziness. Amazing how college kids can go crazy over cupcakes, rice krispy treats, and pita bread with hummus.

My best friend, Kris, came up from her school in North Carolina, and brought Corey up. They spent the night and we sat around joking with Nelson (also an old friend but who is currently dating someone in my building) until 4 am. I kept hugging Kris because I missed her so much over the last two months.

I love Kris for a bazillion reasons, but among them is her understanding of my sometimes inability to talk. Like how recently, it's been so crazy here and I've been a mess, so I haven't emailed her in a couple of weeks or called her at all. When I apologized, she said "Nah, I figured you had to be dealing with some heavy stuff to not get in touch."

It's really cool, too, because my roommie got to talk to Corey and now she realizes how cool he is. Just... witty, intelligent, cool. He's one of those kids I would totally not feel cool enough to hang out with except he makes friends with me and gives awesome hugs with stupid jokes.

Aw. I have girls here at Hollins, but we don't have as good of a time as my friends from home do... maybe because I never get to see the old crowd so we have to pack a lot in. I probably won't get to see them for a long time, but they did make me feel a lot better.
