To all my classmates:  Thank you for everything.  You guys have always been there when I needed you.  Never forget the memories we've had together:  city-states, bridge to Hawaii, "Going on a bear hunt", u-ni-que, "Give yourself a hug"/"Give yourself detention", Tim and Jim, and "Oh Mr. Sailor, please do not call; we would rather go out in the hall.  Oh Mr. Sailor, please do not call".

To all my "weekend partners of crime":  You know who you are.  Don't try to deny it.  I appreciate you the most.  Whenever I need to relax or get my mind off of something, you guys know just what to do.  I have to admit that my weekends so far have been the best times of my life.  Think of all the hours at school we have spent planning our weekends, but they still seem to surprise us.   I'll never forget all the fun times we've had, and I'm sure you'll never let me forget most of them.
