reflections

since i only have one week of classes left, i have been reflecting on every semester throughout the last 4 years. naturally, i thought i could share my reflections with y'all...

my time at uga started in a late weekend in july at dawg camp. a camp for incoming freshman, it was a weekend to get to know some people before classes start. i loved dawg camp and am so glad i went back in 2006. not only did i have fun but i also met katie, my roommate now. for our friendship alone, i am glad i went! we were in red group #3, i'm pretty sure. i loved the games and competitions that we did throughout the weekend. although i'm pretty sure the black group won at the end of the weekend...

it was august 13th 2006 when i moved into creswell hall. david helped me pack up his dad's suburban and my dad squeezed in the back seat. moving my stuff in was stressful but the three of us got it done. i met my roommate samantha that day too! we had varsity for lunch and before i knew it, i was left alone in my dorm room. room 363 on hall 3D. i loved my room and quickly loved the girls on my hall. that same night katie picked me up and some dawg camp people went to starbucks and hung out on north campus. those were the days when i hated coffee and got a hot chocolate instead. i remember it being a hot august day and practically sweating & drinking hot chocolate, haha!

one of my all time favorite weekends in the fall was october 6 & 7. october 6 was a friday, i remember i had a pre-cal exam and did well on it. and the student alumni association had an event at the bookstore that i went to... i got my picture with hairy dawg and got vince dooley's autograph. it doesn't seem like such a big deal now, but at the time i was excited! that night melissa came into town and so did david. the next day, the 7th, was the georgia/tennessee game so my parents and aunt misti came into town on saturday. i think it was perfect timing to have family come to see me. if you don't remember, georgia lost to tennessee and it was a painful game to watch but nonetheless, it was a great weekend. i remember being proud to be on my own and proud to show off my dorm room, haha. pretty funny to think about now...

oh, freshman year. when everything was new and things were just beginning. i'm thankful to still have good friends from freshman year and have been there with me through it all.
