Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Indeed it does.

More importantly, today is exactly one year since I had a needle in my arm for three days, my mouth cut into, my jaw broken, and my bone shaved off. It's kind of funny since I did nothing of my own to get here, but I feel quite accomplished. I mean, that happened before junior year. And now junior year is over. Senior year has almost begun. Don't be alarmed, but school starts in 9 days. So I guess the moral of the story that I'm trying to get to here is: (in the famous words of John Mellencamp) "oh yeah life goes on."
