Despite numerous attempts to drop out, a few last semester scares regarding various timelines and the lure of the private sector, I am now finished with every test, paper, project and requirement that the great state of Texas and her flagship university threw at me.
As I walked the cold streets back to my apartment images and feelings from the last four years began to run through my mind and I figured I should write them down in no particular, though vaguely chronological order
- The long walk back to Jester the first January
- Watching Jake sprint from the police (who were on the other side of Waller Creek)
- Bryan Plantes calling me out for language at broomball
- Catching that raccoon in north campus
- IPAP ‘05
- Watching Vince run in the TD. Celebrating on Guadalupe.
- Knocking out the Walterses with a straight flush
- The smell of the oaks on Speedway when it rains
- Shooting my first dove at Josh’s ranch
- Doing a surprising number of things while still asleep and late for discipleship @ Einstein’s
- Smoking pipe on Austin’s back porch
- Compiling my first kernel with Al in Dan/Dylan’s apartment
- Camping out for the Wii
- Literally hanging out with Doug at the old office
- Sailing
- Wandering out of Painter and checking my watch to figure out if the sun was rising or setting (thank you Dr. Berger)
- The lawn incident (probably the most embarrassing on the list)
- 375 Cases
- The Blue Collar Bachelor tour
