Fraulein Maria.......I mean Kat

When I returned to my dorm after my econ class today, I was sad to find that Katarina had already departed for her beloved Louisiana. A little side note.....we have been listening to Garth Brooks' "Calling Baton Rouge" for the past week, and I can't seem to get it out of my head. Although I had hoped to see Kat one last time before she left, my sadness was somewhat forgotten when I happened to glance at the mirror above our sink. Here's what I saw.

In case you can't read it, it says, "So long, farewell, alveitezain, (Kat's spelling for alveterzane) goodbye. Have an awesome fall break & have oodles & bunches of fun at Dollywood. <3 Katarina

P.S. Isn't it funny how "fall" and "break" are both detrimental verbs? Don't fall or break anything! Miss ya already"

Kat has been running around campus all day signing that song from "The Sound of Music." Kat thinks that she's Fraulein Maria, or at least she wishes she were. I have to say though, between the fact that Kat's Catholic, she seems to have a way with kids, especially her three year old sister Ella, and she loves to play the guitar and sing, she fits the role quite perfectly.

It has hardly been twelve hours since Kat left Clemson, but I have to admit, I already miss her. Thankfully I have a piece of Kat with me though. She gave me one of her bracelets for the weekend, and I gave her one of my necklaces. Krazy.....I know, but we can't help it. We love eachother!!!

I just checked my Facebook page and saw this post:

Annie misses you ♥
[and me too!]

Kat is the queen of leaving me surprise notes. She is literally the BEST roommate EVER!!!!!! Annie is her younger sister, and even though I haven't met her, I love her too!! I can't wait until she visits us at Clemson.
