Another Reflection Survey from Ryan:

2 Years Ago I: was preparing to graduate high school, attending my third prom, winning a national design competition, dreaming of life at Emerson, hating my family situation.

1 Year Ago I: was not blogging regularly, having far too much fun with my friends at R.B.C.P.C., obsessed with the music of Robbie Williams, managing a copy/packing shop,.

Yesterday I: finally moved into my apartment for the summer, took a huge black plastic trash bag full of clothing to the St. Francis House with Ted and was asked if I was carrying a dead body four times, ran into Stephanie Dicoursi, helped Blake and Sean dress Ted for a job interview, continued recovering from my strained neck, had far more fun than allowed at work, planned a trip to the Improv Asylum with Jess Reynoso.

Today I: have only done this survey so far. I do enough surveys at work and yet I get off and answer surveys instead of administer them.
