Coffee orgies and circles under my eyes like pre-historical fossils. For almost two years I have been dancing on my nerves like a circus artist. Unbelievable, but I have performed my act without stepping into the air. My hyper-thanks go, of course, to my parents. I recently described the two with these words: 'I love my parents, they are the best!' I never described them better. Next, a big appreciation to the Wingfield family, who helped me throughout every fatigue, stress and the consequences during my senior year. Special warm thanks to my sister/ friend Betsy, for the living in your explorer, the beautiful skies, and for always being there when I counted on you. I want to send out my thanks and a whole lot of hugs to those 'import,• who kept me alive during a time of •Schmacht! Ina, Ruth, Elisa and Kristina: I love you guys and will miss all your accents, foreign craziness. misunderstood jokes and bizarre psyche!!! Of course, I will miss the cr·de·la·cr of America's offspring. Princess Lauren, too! New York. Sheep in the big City. still driving home after Lenni's, Barnes & Nobles sessions, riding in your •fast car• much more! A warm· hearted THANKS to the whole family Covey, of course! Rhiannen, I will always have an ear to listen to your dreams and sudden insights and impressions about us in general and life in particular. Christian, thanks for introducing me to Chris Furley, ice- skating in Charlottesville and frozen- daiquiry, simply for your permanent. hilarious sarcasm! Franklin, for keeping up with me so often you would have probably rather been alone with Betsy. Amanda. stay hard during the remaining time! THANKS: To Mr. Hight for always having an open ear for my Liputanian problems. Mr. Burke for being the manifestation of•unteacherousncss• and yet being the most motivating and encouraging of that species I ever met. Mr. Garmy, •pour votre humour a Ia Garmy!!! • Mac, for building the path for my grammar- mission. To Mr. Hopkins for leading me through the cemetery of English literatu re and on the way while unloading constructive censure. Big R. for making me an •Englista' and a •Tracksta!• Mr. Hamlin. for keeping up with all my pseudo-philosophical frustration. Mrs. And Mr. Gamble. for your never· ending spiritedness. Mrs. Anderson, for your kindheartedness. No words can express my emotio ns for my friends at home, especially Pia, Janine, Jacqueline, Barbara, Mart(h)a. Yvonne and Claudia: I missed you incredibly! I shared so many truly unforgettable moments with you all. it is almost impossible to live in the present, because everything reminds me of some great experience I had with one of you some time in the past. I hope we can all continue these formidable friendships. but I do not need hope if I just remember... the times we had.
