We're leaving! Tomorrow I will be back in SF, aw! I'll miss everyone - as an only child I'll have no one to hang out with next door. But saddest of all, we won't see our prefects again! I'm so sad, I really loved them. Here's a poem I wrote for them.

Sweet Casa
Sweet Casa, home of my heart
Or at least for the year past.
You have housed my sisters, my friends and my role models
And still your walls now are bare.
Did you laugh with us in the double rooms
As we gossiped and giggled galore?
Did you cry with us as we burst into tears,
Out of stress or pressure or fear?
Did you shout with us as we ran down the halls,
Knowing our roommates were sleeping?
Were you held, as we were, in warm loving arms
By sisters we gained for a year?
Did you too seek their council in PJs and slippers
When faced with a dilemma or two?
And did you love them as much as we did
With all our hearts and minds?
Kay's -Eggbert- antics to bring us 'round the fire,
Hazel's gentle smile and personal bubble,
Annie's hat and resonating laugh,
Chandler's warm and safe embrace,
Kaitlin's voice that echoes through our hearts,
JoJo's sweet kindness and grace.
Will you miss them as much as we?
I do not think anyone could.
