a recap.

tonight was a reminder.
it was as if the entire night was capsulated
on one of katie mac's sticky notes to mikev.
one big list of reminders. here are a few:

i was reminded that staffers have talents and personalities
that are not revealed within the confinements of the office.
heng is one heck of a volleyball player, for instance.

i was reminded that it has been such a long year, filled with
struggles and questions. sorrows and emptiness.
teamwork and bonding. late nights and early mornings.
i have met many wonderful people that i am proud to call friends.

tonight i was reminded that when i am nervous
my voice quivers like no other, and i am not always
as out going as i want to be.
i was reminded that i am an awful volleyball player
(or at least a quitter when it comes to things I am not naturally good at)

i was reminded that Michelle has the most amazing sense of humor.
she is witty and undeniably charming.
an outstanding editor in chief.

tonight i was reminded that long tables
and conversation do not go hand in hand.

tonight i was reminded that Gail lives on the east coast
and has an amazing family of nine.

tonight i was reminded that people DO come back
and live and re enter Biola after studying abroad.
(lovely to see you Rachelle and your bomb.com hair!)

i was reminded that chimes is all over.


i am not sure where this blog is going to go:
the secret is out.
although that was certainly my over all intention,
i cannot believe that it lasted this long.
it has been a long year,
a beautiful and enriching year.

to all you new readers,
welcome.
welcome to the chimes gossip blog.
i hope this blog will be a reminder
to you that you were part of an amazing
family and team of people who
dedicate hours of their time each week
to enlighten the biola campus.


godspeed, chimes gossip bloggers.
have a beautiful and blessed finals week.
