I went to bed early last night. I was pretty tired from the day's events. About half an hour after I'd been sleeping my cell phone rang. However, because I was sleeping I didn't really want to talk to anyone so I let it go to voicemail.

I checked the message this morning, and I was absolutely shocked:

Hey sweetie it’s Anna. I’m actually just calling because you know I realise it’s a new term starting and the new year and I just really started to realise all the people I’ve basically just sort of forgotten about and been really bad about not talking to or getting in contact with or hanging out with and you were top of the list. So just give me a call, give me a call back. I want to figure out what your schedule is. I definitely just want to meet up with you and we’ll go for coffee or something and see how things are. So yeah, give me a call sometime. Bye.
It sounded really heartfelt. I was really broken up about our friendship falling apart. We were best friends in high school despite going to different schools. When I started first year university, she took a year off to work in England. I got a job and saved up to fly out to see her. Though we hadn't been able to talk often, when I got to England it was like nothing had changed. It was an amazing trip. When she came back in August we spent a lot of time together again. Shortly after we had a fight. Things were smoothed over, and I saw her a couple times at the start of the academic year, but ultimately we grew apart. I know that things like this happen, but I was pretty torn up nevertheless. Eventually I gave up trying to connect with her because it was too draining. I figured if she came around, I'd still be here willing to have her back.

Last night's call was totally unexpected. I really hope we can go for coffee and try and pick up where we left off, or simply just begin again. What a nice new year's surprise.
