Five little things that say a lot: Eavesdropping

As I walked around campus this morning, the conversations around me were an insistent reminder that I am years older and worlds away from undergraduate existence.

1) So then we started drinking...
2) I had 6 gin and tonics. Double gin and tonics. So that's like 12 shots...
3) It was an engineering party, so I felt totally out of place...
4) Dude, you so shoulda been there...
5) I got through the secondary literature and am working through the poems now. (Oh wait, that was me.)

  1. Campus life is jarring, sometimes, for the aging.

    (Congrats, btw, on your efforts at Number Two!)

  2. For whatever reason, it took me hearing several of those conversations before I remembered that Monday morning is the traditional time for such conversations.

    I am so old.
