Lovely posts everyone. I love hearing about people's experiences like this.
It's difficult for me to tell what impact BBM has had on me. In August 2005 I went 300 miles away from home to my first year of college, where I didn't know a single person. It took me a few months to sort of get used to college life and find some real friends. I saw BBM when I was home for Christmas break of that first year. I have, of course, changed quite a bit in the past three years, but I honestly couldn't tell you how much of that was BBM and how much was just going through college and all the experiences that come with it. I know that I would be different if it I had never seen this movie, I just don't know exactly how.
To answer the question in the title of this thread, I am doing extremely well. I am going to Peru at the end of January to attend a "young adult" conference about water issues as sort of a fact-finding mission for the organization that is sending me. My brother, who lives in Louisiana (so I don't get to see him much), is also going. I'm also getting ready to graduate in May, which obviously means that more significant changes are coming soon. This past semester was really difficult and kept me very busy so I haven't been around here much lately, but I love knowing that I can still come back and people still remember me and welcome me back as if no time has passed. I feel like some of you have gone through college with me in a way, and that really means a lot to me.
