Michigan alumni weekend

This past weekend I visited Ann Arbor for alumni weekend and went to the Penn State game with Echo. I didn't tell a lot of people I was going so it turned out to be a huge surprise.

The game on Saturday, as disappointing as it was, was still really, really fun. Echo and I sat in row 2, behind the goal post on the opposite side of the field from the student section (where all the alumni and Penn State fans were). I'd never been so close to the field before. It was great. Standing in the cold and rain for 3 hours reminded me how much I despised weather in the midwest but it also reminded me that this is what true Michigan fans do--we endure these kinds of hardships all in support of our Wolverines...no matter how much they suck =)

It was great being back on campus. It made me feel like a student all over again but I have to say it didn't quite feel the same as undergrad.

Visiting HMCC was really good in that I got to see and hang out with old friends and catch up with those few people I haven't spoken to in a while. What was crazy though is that I didn't recognize half the people there. I felt so old school. Damn, where has the time gone? Haha

Um..anyways, I don't have that much more to say about this trip really other than that it was a surprisingly reflective and thought-provoking visit, which I did not expect at all. This trip made me all the more certain that I made the right choice in moving back to New York and I'm glad that after much self deliberation my senior year, I made the step to go back home. If you really want to know the details, call or email me..it's too much to type out..but in the meantime enjoy the pictures on facebook.

Wow, I'm such a hermit

Tonight, some of my co-workers and I went out to celebrate one of our colleagues' new job.  It feels like it's been a while since I've gone out with people and had a good time.  It's made me realize that I've been such a hermit the past couple of months.  But you know what?  I'm actually ok with that.  

Now, I don't want to sound like I don't have any friends (because I do haha) but I'll admit it, I don't hang out all that much--maybe once in a while with a few people but honestly, I can't find the time.  Weekdays are packed with work so the only time I'd actually get to hang out is on the weekends.  But I'd much rather use that time for myself.  You know, get some errands done, do some reading, songwriting, ect.  Is that lame? I even thought about taking a vacation on my own. What do you guys think?  Is this pretty sad?  

Well, if you want to save me from being a complete loser, let me know if you want to visit Vancouver, CN with me, 'cuz I've always wanted to go!
