This year we are prepared. We have activities, some classes, big books that tell us about grad schools, incredible powers of procrastination, the spirit of competition, and, most importantly, goals. This semester we will strive show each other up while corporately accomplishing tasks that we have designated as keystone to our Tech experience. I hope you find them both moving and motivating.
1. Make Amy wet herself.
2. Answer the phone with, "I love you."
3. Propose to a telemarketer.
4. Memorize a Bible verse.
5. Consume Pop-Ice: 1 box/term
6. Use "milksop" in context.
7. Invite someone renowned to dine
with us.
8. keep Bitsy alive.
9. Get Tau
Omega Phi shirts.
10. Check off three Mr. Wrong's (Walker,
Cindy. Mr. Wrong: A User's Guide. 2000. William Morrow.).
11. Go on a date to the Student Center.
12. Discuss Jenny's summer research
with Randy.
Bonus: Relate conversation to her "T.C.I."
or personality type.
That being said, I'll show you some photos and they happen (as opposed to showing them before they happen).
This is Brad, Jim, Jim's SUV, and a tree . We got to know them (sans the tree and SUV) at the end of last year because their roommate was engaged to Cori. The two lovebirds got hitched this summer and Jim and Brad were groomsmen. I was previously unaware, but being a groomsman takes a good deal of training. Jenny and I flew in for the wedding. Anyway, they're a bunch of fun, so we bother them a lot. I'm a Team Leader (i.e. TA) and Brad's a "consultant" for Jim's Psyc1000 class for Freshmen. I have the best group of kids. I win.
I came in a little early for the wedding so I could chill with Jeff the day he "got out" of Tech. He's my AXS brother and was my first friend in the fraternity. He carpooled to church with Dave, Leslie, and me my sophomore year. He thinks he drives better than me, but he is wrong, wrong, wrong. (I'm going to get it when he reads that! Sometimes the truth is just hard to accept.) He's a great person and I miss having him around.
These are some of my brothers and me at the GT vs. Citadel game. (We creamed them!) L to R: Sid, Jenny, Matt, Jennifer, Me, and Amy's very funny fingers. Thanks again, Amy. You light up my life.
Jim and I went to Boston the weekend after school started. Yay for cheap tickets. Here we are at the Charles River. I learned an important lesson that day: when planning vacations in the winter, do not go places where large bodies of water are frozen.
I made Jim ride a donkey.
