Reunion Weekend

For the first time in over a year, I visited the St. Mary's College campus.  The reason: Reunion Weekend 2010.  The time between my last visit to the campus, for graduation last year, until this weekend is the longest time I have gone without being on the campus since I first visited the college (unless you count the time from when my family visited Historic St. Mary's City one summer when I was in middle school until I formally visited the campus the summer before my senior year of high school).

So, the highlights of the weekend:
  • Best part of the weekend: seeing friends.  While I have seen many of them already this year, I did get to see Oscar for the first time in over two years.  And while there were some differences, most of the LQ 1 group from junior year was there, in the same suite this weekend, joined by some of our other close friends.
  • I went sailing for the first time in my life, necessitating me wearing swimming trunks for the first time in almost eleven years.  Add this to the list, albeit short, of things I wish I had done differently in college.  (That list may be the topic for a later, more than likely EC-10, blog post.)
  • Note to self: avoid putting down an entire bottle of wine by myself in one weekend.  Especially when the division is one glass Friday night, the rest of the bottle Saturday night.  However, I think I was more uncomfortable because of all the snacks I ate to compensate as opposed to the amount of alcohol I drank.
  • I am running on about ten hours of sleep since 7:30 a.m. on Friday as of the time of this post.
  • Ice >> broken refrigerator.
  • I need to keep an eye on any pictures of me posted on Facebook in the near future.
  • I may end up with a scar on my elbow from this weekend.
In short, especially to those who spent the weekend with me, I enjoyed myself immensely.  So, thank you.  While I don't know that I'll be up for this every year, I would want to make this a tradition for every few years.
