in the spirit of thanksgiving, because I am thankful to all you people for something or another (and because I know how much fun they are to read):
1. you are a very positive person, most of the time, which endears you to many people, although you may not realize it. although you like to pester me a lot because of a certain substitute teacher, I'm glad that we share a lot of classes together because you are a cool person and are fun to hang out with, despite your various obsessions
2. I am glad that I had the chance to meet you last year, unfortunately while we were suffering through deaver together. I also have a lot of classes with you this year, and I am happy about it because you are such a benevolent, and general well-meaning person
3. one of my few senior pals, you do so much and it really hurts me when people do not appreciate what you do for them. you work extremely hard and I look forward to working with you on various projects in the next year. chemistry rocks!
4. one of the most energetic people I know. whenever I see you my day always becomes better. you act really wild sometimes, but that's just what I like about you. I like your wildness-induced singing too, haha. I wish I could emulate your positiveness (?) more sometimes. it amazes me that you always know what to say to make me feel better and more secure about myself no matter what problems I am having. I am lucky to consider myself your friend
5. I think you are a really friendly person and I feel for you when you are upset about your family or anything else. bio would not be the same without you sitting behind me
6. I am glad I met you at B.V. and that we became friends. I remember when we used to sit at the same table every day at lunch and just hang out. I miss the good old times with you. I also wish I could like history as much as you do, although I admit that is a lofty goal. I like your mom's food too. cjhueiecse!
7. All these (I think we are nearing 23 now) years that I have known you, I think I must say that you have never done anything that I can find a true fault with (yes, I know my preposition placement is incorrect, but oh well). You, I think, are the absolute most optimistic person I know, which is why everybody loves you, including myself. Thanks for all the help over the years.
8. I have known you for just about a year now, but I still think we are clones at heart. We feel the same way about so many things, and I think that we have very similar values, which is the reason why we are such good friends. It's really fun being asian! even if I can't pronounce anything correctly.
9. you are really, really intelligent in the way that is important in life. I have enjoyed working on stuff with you this year and I hope that in the future we can continue being partners on projects and the like. You are a awesome actress, and a great friend!
10. without fail, you make me laugh every time I talk to you. we have pretty weird conversations, but still, talking with you is much more fun that many other things (i.e. listening to farmer). I wish I could help you stop being so sad sometimes because really, when you are sad, it affects everybody around you. p.s. cavallini rocks your world too
11. I'm very glad that you have accepted me into your group of friends. Spending time with you is always a blast, and your presence in math keeps me sane. I am very happy to have you as a friend, and I truly hope we can become much closer in the future (not that we can in terms of actual distance)
12. you are hilarious, and I envy your accent. say it with me now, "esparragos". I have enjoyed getting to know you better over the last couple years and I hope to continue with that process throughout the next two years. p.s. you are not half-bad either, ms. "i have gumpsh"
13. I think you are the most meticulous person I have met. you really impress everybody with the level of perfection at which you do everything. and, you are so sweet to everybody. I absolutely adore you. you are really going to succeed in whatever you choose to do in life.
