feeling sentimental

I'm procrastinating in my studies again... and i've developed a habit of checking my email constantly as I stare at the computer screen to avoid looking through my notes/casebooks. I just got a new email... (sometimes I yearn for my to ding and say "You Have Mail." - but then I realize that would eventually get annoying)

The email wasn't so exciting, just a newsletter from my undergrad school. But this picture popped up:it reminds me of college days and how much fun we had growing up and going out. The bars in that old-west town were fun - but it wasn't just the drinking that made college great. It was trying to sneak in before we were 21 for whatever reason (mostly to see bands - or find cute guys), it was me sneaking right past the bouncer and my best friend looking at me through the glass from the sidewalk wondering if she was going to get carded, it was trying to transfer "over 21 stamps" from one friends hand to another with spit while the stamp was still wet, it was running in the sprinklers after drinking jungle juice at the frat parties, and more...

One weeknight my amigas and I had a dacari/margarita night (after we were legal) at Wingers and then for some reason ended up running around the field by this statute and taking crazy pictures of us next to "Steamboat Willy" and giggling for hours... that was at least five year ago, we hardly every talk anymore - one lives in NV, another in TX and me here... but, I miss you gals!!! (here's one pic from that night)

good thing we have a reunion soon

Update: 4/18/08 - I realize this blog makes it sound like college was only a drink-fest. And, yes, while that was a large part of my college experience, it wasn't the ONLY thing. Hopefully soon, I'll find some time to post more college stories that don't involve alcohol.
