Why I miss Liz Webb....

I don't really know, actually. But I do. Here are some great things I remember about college: 1) My first day at college, waiting for Liz to get there... wondering how I would get along with a girl who was out jogging when I called her to say "hi". 2) The orange juice incident of a few days later. 3) Our first toga party. 4) Our first lounge party. 5) That time AJ and I were fighting in front of the dorm. 6) Our first year dorm room...and the great quotes/decorations. 7) Singing bad local band songs under the window.

There's more, obviously.. that barely scrapes the surface of our first semester in college.. But seven's a good number, so I'll stop there. I'm wallowing in some pretty serious self-pity tonight, and thought the perfect fix for that would be to go back in time to my freshman year of college. Way back... before my job, before student teaching, before Dream Girl, before getting kicked out of Sigma, before joining ADPi, before the psycho Marine. Back when life was fun and funny. Back when I hated Ripon, but dealt with it because I was still not living in Racine. Back when the worst things that happened were sometimes also the funniest... and nothing a little "orange juice" couldn't cure! Ah yes.... Who would have ever thought I'd MISS being in a place once acurately described by someone as the "crotch of the Fox Valley area"?? Yeah. But sometimes a Friday night doing homework and simultaneously getting ready for next week's lesson plans will do that to ya....

PS. Liz: 'member that time you visited me in Germany?? That was great times. "Don't sit on the cake"... haha... Miss you! xo
