Post 9: Talkin' about friends

I have to recognize I don't have many friends. Not because I'm unfriendly but because I prefer having a few close friends rather that a bunch of people who I hardly talk to, and who would give a damn if something happens to me. Those who are close to me are the ones I really care, and who also care for me in life's ups and downs. 
However, my closest friend is Doris. It is funny to say 'the closest' since she doesn't live in Chile anymore. Currently, she lives in Switzerland but still we keep in touch regularly. 
I met her at university, although we weren't friends immediately. By the time we were studying, all our classmates used to be kind of immature, so we felt out of place sometimes. At the end, we discovered that working together was really effective, so this got us closer. I think we get along because we have similar thoughts about many things, though I'd say she's more practical than me. One of the things I really like about her, is the fact that she always has the right advice, or something positive to say. Normally, when I feel down, I talk to her  and she always has something wise to say. Through all these years, she's proved to be a reliable and good friend, and that's something I really appreciate. 
I remember the moment in which we were working on our thesis as one of the best memories I have about her. It sounds strange, I know, but during this time we were working together everyday, and sometimes we needed to take a rest. However, we were always encouraging each other to continue no matter what, and the results were amazing. We received many congratulations about our work, and until now we feel really proud. Now that she's away, I miss her quite a lot. Besides, she's now pregnant. The good thing is that I'll be visiting her for Christmas, and that makes me quite happy.
