Day 1 - Your Best Friend

Dear Courtney and Robyn,

Whenever I'm having a crappy day, hanging out with you two always cheers me up. It amazes me that I have such great friends as you; I would've thought you guys would find someone better than me to hang out with. Seems like yesterday we were in Foss' class taking orthographic spacials and being called immature kindergartners, and insane pen spinners (doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results, right Courtney?). Junior year's almost here; I hope I get some classes with you guys (not having any this year SUCKED). Two more years, then off to college. Different ones, probably (I say we should all go to UCBerkeley), but we'll still be amazing when we get together (and we WILL).

Courtney, I've known you since 7th grade. Sixth, if you want to get extra technical. Fun times in band and Goodhue especially, right? Those civil war projects and mirror books were pretty fun... You started out like the quiet girl in the corner, but you're SO much more than that. You're crazy smart and funny, and you're a great person to hang around. I know you feel invisible and maybe even neglected sometimes, but remember, I'm always there for you. You're an amazing person, and no one can refute that. You're way too hard on yourself, but I guess that's what makes you, you. You're determined to achieve what you want in life, and nothing could stand in your way. You're quiet, sure, but you say the funniest, most amusing things sometimes. I'm still waiting for you to go on that murdering rampage by the way. It's always the quiet ones... I'm sure Robyn and I top your hit list.

Robyn, you have WAY too much energy, and I love that about you. You're always happy and hyper, and you could make anyone's day. You go a bit too far teasing people sometimes, but I know you don't mean it. You make up for your shortness in personality; you're seriously one of the most optimistic, happy-go-lucky, inspiring people I've ever met. Not exactly the MOST responsible person in the world (losing textbooks and furiously doing homework during lunch), but you know what matters in life, and you'd never give that up.

I love you both. You guys are amazing, and I couldn't ask for better friends than you.
