Synthesis

I just saw that I had reached the 90 posts mark on this blog. That's a lot of posts. It's been a long, but very enjoyable, first year of college and I wouldn't take back a minute of it. Thank you to everyone who helped me make it through, I couldn't have done it without any of you, and congratulations to everyone else who made it through their first year. Thank you to 308! Megan, Ashley, and Velvet: you guys are amazing. Thank you for filling my life with love.

To celebrate this year I decided to make a list of everything I accomplished and did this semester. Enjoy!

- I successfully kept a habitat of my own relatively clean and livable
- I kept old flames alive while making some awesome new friendships
- I found my way around the city of Burlington
- I bought a Rent poster
- I didn’t die after eating college food
- I earned a 3.94 GPA my first semester, and I didn’t fail second semester
- I managed to get Megan and Ashley hooked on Lost, while getting all of us hooked on Glee
- I managed to have my first two teaching jobs teaching workshops at the theater festivals
- I was in four productions at UVM (counting UPlayers stuff)
- I became a techie/tractor (whatever you want to call it)
- Music Makers put on four awesome concerts, and performed wicked cool Glee arrangements
- I was financially responsible
- I successfully pulled off a Sweeney Todd costume for Halloween (with Megan as my beautiful Mrs. Lovett)
- I had a very good first college holiday season
- I brought Megan to church for Christmas
- I filmed some short movies
- I went contra dancing
- I had (and fell in love with) Wings for the first time
- I discovered the wonderfulness that is Dobra Tea with Megan
- Megan and I defeated Spyro
- I got sick (and got better) multiple times
- I danced the Single Ladies dance in my director/professor/advisor’s house
- I worked
- I turned 18
- I painted a flat
- I went to my first dance clubs
- I actually enjoyed a history class
- I laughed
- I cried
- I survived my first year of college

Of course, there were a lot of things that weren't accomplished this year like making our own webisode adventures, or making a treehouse on a car and living in it, finishing our 308 movie list, or EVER meeting Velvet's family but then again there's always next year. I will still be posting this summer, it just probably won't be as often. Have an awesome summer, and I'll be seeing you!

Peace out!
