Goodbyes Suck
... on our faces. A few days before dinner we had given everyone a list of superlatives and we all had to vote for who we thought best fit the superlatives. I was put in charge of counting up the votes and writing the names of the winners on the medals. So at dinner, I presented everyone with their winnings. I won best planner of weekend activities and most valuable stones customer (the bar we went to every wednesday). It was great to be able to know all ...
