I think knowing this was one of our last nights all together added a certain feel to the night.
We were appreciating the moment, and each other.
Everyone was dressed up in Christmas colors and sweaters. The apartment had a Christmas tree and Christmas lights.
We made a massive meal again and sat together drinking and eating.
We did secret Santa too, I think it was the best secret Santa I have been apart of yet.
Every person really thought about the gift that they got the person. It was so sweet, we all opened them and guessed who had us, then after we all opened and played with our gifts. It was like we were little kids.
Ted had me and got me a digital camera. It is so vintage and cute. I also forgot how fun it is to take pictures, and then have to wait to see them till you develop them!
We smoked, and talked, and even all got a little sad drunk together. We are going to miss each other so much. It is getting so hard.
It was such a warm night, one i know we will all look back on.
Phillip, who doesn't show emotion that much, broke down into a heavy cry. It was actually really beautiful.
I spend a lot of time being sad when I think of leaving these people who changed my life, but my friend Ginnie here made a good point the other day. How lucky are we to have each other. to have something so good, so full of love, and happiness that it is tearing us apart inside to leave.
I will never ever forget the people I met, how i changed, and all I did and saw while on my semester abroad.
