A break in our regularly scheduled programming

Dear friends,

And I say this quite sincerely to some of the best people I've ever known. Thank you for being kind, wonderful people who care About life, learning, and humanity. Thank you for being flexible and patient with me when I have been cross and unreasonable, and thank you for lending an empathetic, yet reasonably impartial ear when I need to blow off steam. Thank you for not jumping to conclusions about my actions, my decisions, and the people with whom I choose to associate. Thank you for realizing that a friend , or even an acquaintence, in need far outweights any personal grudges or tensions acrued during a long semster, year, or travel situation. Thank you for acknowledging that people in power are people too, and that respecting them does not equal disrespecting everyone else. Thank you for trying to correct a misunderstanding without resorting to misguided accusations and unfounded insults. And thank you for being decent, open-minded, good-hearted people who can admit when they are wrong, but stand by their beliefs and believe in a good that superceeds their personal comfort for ten minutes. Thank you for loving me despite my flaws and insecurities and thank you for recognizing the good in people in general.

Thank you for being awesome and thank you for being my friends.

Love always,

Angela
