I remember the smile that rose on my face when I walked to the last DIM trip–Toledo.

I remember a long bus ride, sitting next to Maya, airpods in, couldn't quite sleep this time.

I remember getting into a thrilling conversation with Brian about ~Elite~ while first getting off the bus.

I remember being excited to go on the tour, me being thankfully more prepared for the warmth than Segovia.

I remember pulling up 5 extra seats at lunch to make sure everyone could sit together–at the inconvenience of the wait staff.

I remember playing TikTok games at lunch, going in a circle trying to guess the number we were thinking about in our head.

I remember wanting time to slow down, wishing to savor just a few more moments as a DIM group.

I remember the walk back to Claraval–filled with nothing but gratitude for this semester.
