Dear Nano,

as well as fellow Gator teammates. Nano asked me to do this, that is why he is getting special treatment. I will truly miss all of you a ton and here is why:

Nano: You are one of us that always swims in the slowest lane. It basically rocks watching people like Kendall and Natalie lap us. I will never forget Arizona and putting your mattress in the hallway and all the other crap we did. "I swear, if you are not out of my bed by the next commercial, I'm getting naked!" For as much as we put you through, I still <3 u.

Andrea: As much as we may have bickered it was fun having you around. I will always remember having to pry you away from the stupid tv in Nashville. "Attention Andrea, we are leaving! Finals start in 30 minutes!"

Martin: You were always there to give us all a little laugh, whether it was a good situation or bad. When you missed your event in Arizona, oh man, I don't think I have ever seen Louis so mad in my entire life.

Courtney: You are one of the kindest, nicest, studliest people I have ever met. I don't think you have ever said a mean thing to anyone. Never forget, if he breaks your heart, give me a call and I will break his neck.

Jason: Thanks for always giving me a hug whenever you saw me. Except for maybe one person, I don't think I have ever seen someone skip so much during practice. For anyone wanting to become someone who can be a stud swimmer and get away with stuff, you should be their idol.

Julia: You were always my sprinter/backstroke buddy. I still remember when you started passing me because you are such a freaking stud. I love how you always know how to make things fun and make all of us laugh. I will never forget how when almost every single one of us got sick in Arizona, you managed to win High Point Award, can you say BAMF?

Scott: I will never forget all the crap we put Nano through on that travel trip. We were the only two our age on that trip, and in my opinion, I don't think it was nearly as awful as it could have been. From hiding Nano's tv remote to swimming that 1500 at Olympic status level, it was still a blast.

Erica: Oh, man. What a couple years. I just will always remember you, Alia, and I waiting to swim that damn 1650 in the 90 degree water. You were always my long distance buddy until you had to go and get fast behind my back. Like the one time at AA's when we drew Louis on your lap counter. Or how about remember when we convinced a certain someone that the dog was a distant relative of the orangutans, or that the koala has 12 toes. "Yeah, I heard that on animal planet!"

Chelsey: I parked today at about 3:55 and was remembering how we used to get to practice about 20 minutes before practice and just sit in one another's cars talking. Wow, we kind of had no lives. The times going out on your boat and going wakeboarding were a blast, we will have to do that this summer even though I won't be there, just give me a call, and while your at it, give Ms. New Booty a call.

Robbie: Every time we roomed together we seemed to have the strangest extra roommate. I'll never forget Arizona, when we shared the elevator in our speedos with some random guy. Or in Tennessee when I don't think we went to bed before 2:00 any night. You and your damn poison oak freshman year, making me share a bed with Rod, asshole. I want a rematch in Scrabble, you know I was cheated out of a win.

To all of you guys, you have made these past four years bearable and even fun at times. As much as I hate to admit it, I am going to miss swimming and all of you guys.



Thanks for caring.
