Happy finals week!

Like almost everyone else I know, I'm been buried in notes and books and various food items that I've consumed in my studying.  I have one final tonight (seriously though, why Saturday from 7-10 at night?) and two on Tuesday.  I have lost any regard for what's socially acceptable, which seems to be what those also on campus have done as well.  I have had my hair up with glasses and Nike shorts on all week.

My roommate moved out this afternoon.  We went and got dinner together last night, and on the way, we saw my favorite homeless man on Guad.  He's a big sweetheart and has been through a lot.  He lost his daughter when she was only four.  As we talked to him last night, he gave me the best compliment that I could ever think of.  He told me that he had been wondering what his daughter would have looked like when she was in college, and that he would often look at the girls walking by and wonder if she would look/be like them.  Then he said that he hoped that she would have looked like me.  And that she would be like me.  I literally almost cried.

I realize that I can't save everyone and that I can't love everyone how they deserve to be loved, but things like that make me want to try even harder.
