Jessica- Jessie Roomie! Jess is an awesome clarinetest and an even awesomer friend! She listens to me blah, laugh and cry! Thanks Jess, you rock! She will be my perpetual roommate even whilst I live far away! Hope you're feeling better, babe!
Beth- The Dorothy of my last apartment! Thanks for helping me cope through the worst semester ever. I was fortunate to have you as a roomie, and really fortunate to have you as a friend. Thanks for always looking out for me and being there with a warm hug!
Jacob- My Eastern friend turned Central buddy! Jacob has been there for every trauma I've gone through for the last, w hat is it? four years?! He became one of my best friends in weeks! You rock Jacob. I hope to see you soon! I miss you ~ come back!!
Amy- Amy is Jacob's rockin' fiance! Thanks for letting me complain to your boyfriend all those times! You guys are awesome! :) "Ionnica Nanae hahahah!" <-her in her sleep!
Chris- Good friend I met through Jason! Probably too smart for his own good! Don't worry, I won't let anyone know you have a softer, non-computer side! (oops:) ) Let's hang out sometime... how's Saturday?
David- Another fun friend from high school. David is the king of the unexpected one line funnies! He knows why I probably shouldn't have written that last comment in Chris' little intro. Anyway, always good fun! :)
Jason one of the smartest, funniest, and most frustrating (in a good way I suppose) people I know. I'll probably re-update this soon... but I figured he should be listed in this list.
Brian, Kevin, Jeff, Tom- More fun people I met at high school or through Jason! You guys are cool and all... but you sure suck at Dr. Mario!!
Andrea and Amanda- Future teaching buddies! Hey guys! I had so much fun in class with you guys! We should all get jobs in the same school and cause some real havic! Or, we could at least do lunch sometime!
Tom- Clarinet buddy! Probably the only person may love cartoons more than I! We should wear our Hey Arnold and Helga costumes sometime soon! :)
Andy- Well, we survived Linguistics! Went through a whole bunch of other junk, but I'm happy we're friends! :) Hope all works out well! :)
I would also like to acknowledge:
My friends from work :)
Band buddies- Rena, Jen, Adam Hendry, Don, Don, Christy, Jessica, Jenny, ... man, i'm drawing a blank!
Because I'm going to be a teacher, I have a great appreiciation for them... some prof shout outs... Mr. Boerma, Dr. Woike, Prof Daumer, Jacob Blumner, Marty Shichtman... thanks for making classes interesting! (Take classes from these people) :)
Anyway! Thanks for being wonderful! I love you guys.. well, most of you :)
