Happy one year anniversary to me.
It is so hard to believe this is real sometimes. That I've really been here a year now. I've seen more and done more in the last year than I ever imagined doing, and met so many amazing people that I'm so grateful for. It was hard at first - it's still hard being away from my family, and I miss my brothers and sister so much - but the people here help. They help me, at least. I can't answer for anyone else.
I feel kind of at a loss for words today, but thanks, Pepper and Tony, for putting us up and helping out as much as you have. This would have been a really awful year if I hadn't gotten such a nice start.
If I weren't trying not to fail this semester, I'd suggest a party in honor of this moment, but maybe I'll be free by New Year's.
