Memories...

I was on Wayne State's campus this afternoon, and seeing all the students returning to school reminded me of all the great times I had at Western: Bronco Bash, living in an impossibly small dorm room (having a good roommate helped!), all things IV, working in the cafeteria and front desk, trudging up and down the hills to and from the Valley, keeping Karen company during her "on-duty" nights, Video Hits Plus ($1 movie rentals - amazing! And where else can you find the movie "High Strung"?), studying, wondering what in the world my life was going to look like after college. It's crazy to think it's been 11 years since my freshman year at Western. On the one hand that makes me feel a little old, but on the other hand it makes me pause and realize that some of my closest friends who I meant during my freshman year have been in my life that long (sorry Andrea, you didn't come along until a couple of years later). And what a blessing those friendships have been!

I am going to say something that will sound crazy: I miss school. Inno way so I want to go back, I AM DONE! But this time of year always gets my hear pumping - new pencils, text books, football games, moving into our newest dorm room....I loved it all! I have to say, as far as roomates go...we were pretty darn lucky...remember Andreas freshman year roommate? Yikes.

um, we have a rule in this household we don't talk about pre-andrea times...I just assumed you all followed that rule too:)
