Well, here I am at 20 after 7 at work, eating fried chicken and mashed potatoes….a perfect breakfast for a Catlin. In about 16 hours (or maybe less) I’ll be in da land of da UIUC.
Dirk will get married,
I will drink.
Rob will drink,
The rest of us will drink,
Travis will be drunk.
But some of this has got me thinking. For me this will be somewhat of a bittersweet moment. This will be the last time that any of us is together this way for a good long while. I mean people may bet married, but it will most likely be in Chicago, or St. Louis. No more UIUC partying.
After this Rob and Dirk graduate, both will move away somewhere, and there will be one. Poor Seth will have to carry the Phi Beta Nu / TW 5N banner all by himself.
So, while I party, I celebrate mostly the union of my best friend to his new wife, I also celebrate in part the ending of something wonderful. Something that started in 503, ended somewhere between 804 and 508.
that’s it boys, I’m realizing that I’m growing up and that means college is over for me. So this weekend, and perhaps at ACEN I will party as if I’m still 19.
Well, I got up in work so this didn’t get published before 8 like I had hoped…but for the most part, I’ll see you this weekend, and now I must work until 2:30 and get out of here.
