Sis-Boom-Bah!

Glory, honor, prestige. Awesomeness. It is in the name of all these things that I, Courtney Wicks, and Hannah Hoffman (who I suspect is less passionate about this than I) are seeking the honor of the President’s Cup (but, really, it’s a bowl). Why, you ask? For the people? Yeah. For the unparalleled, marshmallow feeling of goodness from contributing so much to society and Simpson alike? Yes, we look forward to that. But what really sets our shoes on fire are the possibilities! As we saw that beautiful creation set upon President McKinney's podium this morning at Chapel ("Senior Awards Chapel"), I know I fell in love. The kind of love you only dream about. The kind of love that is dreaming about yourself every single morning eating cereal from that silvery, magnificent bowl. You know, if I ate cereal from that bowl every morning, I'd feel like a winner all day. And don't even get me started on the banana splits that work of art could hold. Why, it's too much to ask. But I'll have a blast trying, and as I sincerely grasp for the honor of such a trophy, I suspect my time at Simpson may be all the more exciting.

On another celebratory note: Woooo! My last official classes were today! I mean, finals are all next week, but I've had the last of everyday class! Oh-ho-ho-hooooo! Thank you so much, God! Of course Chemistry (and carbon molecules) brought up the rear, but that's OK. They're over! Now I'm onto... packing, studying and stressing. Oh, I can hardly wait. And this is where I can only thank God; what else is there? I can't offer much, and a thanks on my new, stupid blog is hardly the honor the King of all Creation deserves, but I'm not going to just say thanks here and forget everything You've ever done for me. And so on. But, I'm so happy and thankful to see the end of the tunnel that is my freshman year as a Biology major. That, in itself, is a miracle.

I've decided to pen down things I know I will need that I didn't know before I came to Simpson. When I was e-mailed the list of things to bring, these priceless articles were missing:

• Chocolate, like, a lot
• A stock of Salt and Vinegar Chips
• Cup of Noodles
• Tapatio
• Your own spices, because The Caf doesn't seem to know what these things are
• Index Cards
• DVD'S! They are all you may ever do on the weekend!
• Books... I mean, if you read them
• One of those cool water containers to fill up in The Caf
• Back forty appropriate shoes
• A formal dress or two
• Rain boots
• Umbrella
• Extra tacks, or you'll have to do what I did: be nefarious and, every once in a while, take a tack or two off of random people's doors
• Camera
• Tea
• Hot Chocolate
• Popcorn
• For me at least: anti-inflammatory, allergy and sinus medication
• Ibuprofen

Uhhmm. That is my wisdom for the day.

Toodle pip.
