Somehow, Carleton kids leaving Northfield has snuck up on me! Today was the last day of finals, which means underclassmen have been leaving for a couple days, and most will clear out tomorrow morning at the latest, so some hugs have been in store! I'm thankful to have had opportunities for meal dates and hug dates the past couple days so I could give well-wishes to those who have touched my life. I'm thankful for a few more days to spend with my senior friends and those sticking around for senior week though, and I was especially blessed tonight by a semi-impromptu friend get-together at my house for probably the last time (before I move into different summer housing) - we had to use the "party room" (as my landlord calls it) for laptag and other silly games! What a fantastic mix of classy mixology, intense battle of wits and will in Scattergories, strength and reflexes in laptag (and potential rugburns), and conversations and contemplations on top of my house.
What started running through my head after everyone took off was, appropriately, "Your glory fills the sky, a great and holy light, shining like a million stars, I'm amazed by who you are." I'm thankful to have seen the million stars tonight and to revel in their beauty on a rural rooftop. Thanks friends.
