Hitchhiker’s and LaTeX – the perfect combination
Some of you know how two weeks ago, I was all \ford{What I need is a strong drink and a peer group.} Well, that’s exactly what I got last night! Jeffrey, Emily, Amanda, Lauren, Diana and I went over to Lily’s pad to have a “we’re all 21″/”end of the summer” party. We started off the night with Smirnoffs, and watched some Monty Python, including several sketches with some biting social commentary, which was pretty great. After mixing a few things involving Kahlua, Bailey’s, banana schnapps, and some other stuff, Amanda and I beat Lily and Jeffrey in a game of team chess, which was kinda weird. I had no idea that Amanda was such a good chess player. It’s kind of sad thinking this is the end of the summer – Jeffrey left for Iowa State today,Emily went back to Madison (though she will supposedly return for the State Fair and RenFest), Diana leaves next week… and I’ll be back in Claremont in a week and a half. After a really shitty start (thanks again to everyone who wrote and cheered me up), the summer has turned out OK. Nonetheless, I can’t wait to get back to Mudd and see everyone!
Oh. Also, Jeffrey and I went to St. Olaf on Tuesday to see Michael. We went to an Indian restaurant for dinner and then saw The Wedding Crashers, which was pretty good. Michael seems to be doing well, though he hates his job.
Wah!!
Lily told me about the gathering, too. While I am so madly in love with New York and my experiences here, man do I miss home and all you guys. Hearing about these gatherings and imagining what it would be like if I were there, receiving a call about it, planning to go…it would be nice. Im excited to see home over Labor Day, but it won’t be the same. Just so you know Allen, I’ve surprised myself how much I miss hanging out with you. We met late and only really got to know eachother over summers, but man are you awesome! Hopefully we’ll chill Holiday break, right?
Re: Wah!!
Of course! I’d love to hang out with you more. :-)
ooooOOOOoooo! I <3 Bailey's...Evie knows my passion for the stuff and has already bought a bottle lol. Delightful with hot chocolate in the winter. I'm glad you had such a good time, and I can't wait to get back to CA and see you and everyone. Two days left! Eeee! Love!
You’ll be there in 2 days? I’m not getting into Claremont for another week. See you then!
