Ah, the memories...


It was wonderful to hang out with Brendan again. He is very good for one's self-esteem! Made me feel beautiful and smart, which is just what I needed. ;) It was also nice to see our old dorm, even wandering the hallways after the bars closed. We left a note for one of our old professors in the Residential College, Erica Paslick. We had her for a "Literature and Diseases" seminar our first semester-- and I did a fabulous presentation on syphilis, utilizing drama and poetry for entertainment value! In case you don't already know this, the Residential College is a small "school" within the University of Michigan. They have an intensive language program, small class sizes, interesting curriculum areas, and written evaluations instead of grades. An example of the unique offerings that I enjoyed was my "Community Strategies Against Poverty" class (and of course "Literature and Diseases" fits the unique category too!). Anyhow, here are some photos. Unfortunately, we forgot our cameras the first day when the alumni had a parade, complete with bagpipers, costumes, and noisemakers!

College memories! Great picture of the two of you! And to think you two met and became friends at your freshman orientation - the beginning of the college years!
