I will be attending my college reunion.
Last night I paid the fees, signed up for lobster for Joey, chicken for
me (yes, I was born in Maine and don't particularly love lobster); it's
expensive, a splurge for one weekend's entertainment, but one's
ten-year college reunion only happens once. Plus, lots of my
classmates have become very fancy, and I'd like to see it for
myself. Wellesley is the
top women's college in the US, and generally hovers around the 4th best
liberal arts college in the country. I may not have had the
typical fabulous four years - in fact, my best semester was my semester away - but I certainly had some good professors, and some good friends.
Plus, I miss the campus. I first lived there in the summer of 1988, at Explo.
I spent five summers at Explo as a student and three as staff (if you
are reading this, and went to/worked at Explo, I encourage you to
comment, I loved Explo), on
top of my actual Wellesley years (the Senior Program didn't move to
Yale until maybe 2000), and then when I was working for Princeton Review, I spent a lot of time there for a couple more summers, coordinating the Explo SAT classes.
That's quite a bit of time.
Joey should sit with me on one of the wooden benches that overhang the
lake. If the door's not locked, I'll show him the view from the
roof of Alumnae Hall, the building in which I spent more time than in
my dorm while I was in school. My class is based in
Pomeroy, which is next to Shafer, where I did sleep sophomore through
senior years...there were some good times.
I hope Lisa comes. I think I'd better find her email address and try to convince her.
