1. They treat out the graduating class to lunch at a buffet and the ratio of students to profs is 1:1. Fun games good speeches.
2. A prof sees you on the street and honks you and gives you a ride to school.
3. Your fellowship can get control of an entire building to study in.
4. A sixth of the fellowship is on school brochures or website.
5. School has to use the stadium to write exams.
6. People complain something is far if you have to walk for more than a minute.

Such an awesome night it was. When you thought they possibly couldn't have done more, more happened. A lot of small and big things that made the night special:
1. Alumni came up (Elaine Sung, Sham, Clint, Rani, and Tammy).
2. Frosh sang, that was amazing. Funny. Creative. And great.
3. Tracy sang. This is someone who has really grown to be more assertive every year.
4. Spammie's vids. Oh Spammie. Going to miss you!
5. Edward sharing, I'm thrilled by how much he's come into the community.
6. Hannah's cell group vids. Pure random goodness.
7. Sam Ip and his violin players. To think they were holding back all year.
8. The stuff we got. Everything is so sentimental.
I think it really hit me yesterday. I've been constantly pushing the thought out and not thinking about it. But this is it. The ability to do what I've been doing every year for the past 5 years is about to end. The friends and times that we've had. The christmas potlucks, BBQ's, softball outings, brunches, movie nights, studying together, and etc. It's done. Although I know that I'll be doing my best to keep in contact. After so many years I know that it's not always possible. We'll be all doing different things and making new friends and things will never be the same. I'm not saying it won't be better, but it won't be the same. I realized it's even sadder for the grads then for the people that will still be here. They only have to say good bye to 9 people. While the grads have to say goodbye to everyone.
It's strange. Even though I've gotten to know the frosh and questionable frosh only 4 months it feels like I've known them so much longer. I don't know. LCCF is something that I've seen become and I've seen people grown in it, and grow it since the beginning. How hard will it be to let it go? I think coop has helped that process and the ring. (Can't imagine the withdrawl the non-coop grads will have.) Things have really changed and just like a pair of shoes... just when you have a pair that makes you comfortable, and attached is when you have to get a new pair.
However, we'll always have the blogs.
