Its That Time of Year Again

It is that time of year again- 

that time of year when people begin to feel inspired by the always waiting "unknown" expanse of the future.  Tomorrow, I begin the trek back to Savannah and am thankful that this journey falls on the first day of the new year.  I will have plenty of time to dwell on the highs and lows of last year as well as the endless opportunities this new year holds.  Reflecting on 2011, I have realized that I am so thankful for the school I go to. I love everyone of my classes and enjoy homework and the projects that come my way.  I love the friends that I have made both in Dallas and in Savannah.  I have realized that each one of my friends I love for entirely different reasons.  I have friends that hold me accountable, friends that are ridiculous, friends that I don't understand, friends that I can be silent with, friends that I can call, friends that I don't have to talk to every week, friends that complete me, friends that I can talk about nothing to, friends that I talk about how horrible life is sometimes, friends that are talented, friends that I am proud of, friends I know that one day we will be better friends, etc.  I am very very very thankful.
