it's very interesting when you start realizing that you're closer to more people that work for the university than go to the university. i'm sure the numbers will start evening out here in the next month or so, but it's a totally different feeling than i've had here before.
i really miss the "old school" people who have departed from campbell. it's weird to be the "oldest" when you still feel like you felt 3 years ago at this time. i wish there were still "experienced" people that i could talk to and get advice from; people that could pick on me for being naive and 18 years old. people that started nicknames like "efird" and "sunshine" that have carried over but still don't seem quite right (besides the occasional greeting from butta).
but this is probably exactly how they felt when i was a freshman...missing those who came before them. and hopefully i'll be able to do the same things for new students that they did for me.
and hopefully they'll come back to visit this year (i.e. homecoming, random weekends, spring formal, etc).
and to see me graduate.
(cough, cough) MAY 15, 2006 (cough, cough)
so here's to the old schoolers. may you thoroughly enjoy what you're doing right now, but still miss campbell enough to come back and see the few of us that are left...

calling someone their last name is not a "nick name"
thats what guards in prison use to refer to inmates
and i dare say thats the kind of relationship upon which you want to base a life-long friendship
of course, i have some friends who i treat like my scared fresh-fish cell-mates...
so, party on with your prison "nick-name"
nick·name 1 : a usually descriptive name given instead of or in addition to the one belonging to a person, place, or thing
okay, so you were technically right about the whole nickname thing
but you know what i meant. you just had to disagree.
people that started nicknames like "efird" and "sunshine"....
...and "the bff." :-)
YESSSSS
but you're still here.
thank goodness.
From one oldie but goodie, to a future O.B.G., how's that for a nickname, I'll be there soon...
hey sunshine... (at least you know some of us have been here a lot longer than you)
