News You Can Use

Today I leave for the weekend, to be spent, at least in part, visiting my alma mater, designated XSU. I haven't been since I left the summer after graduating too many years ago.

Finally finally finally. I am so so so goddam excited. Despite the fact that, of course, it's going to rain all fucking weekend and all I want to do is grab a fifth of vodka to sip while I visit every single place I ever set foot upon during my higher education/best skating years.

Time is a factor, and XSU has a huge campus. And I have memories for every building, botanical garden, rail, bar, bench, sidewalk square -- every freaking blade of grass, every squirrel whose kids I'll see today. A friend is making my trip possible -- I don't drive -- so I have to work around her schedule. I can only hope we can cover quite a few miles in a very few hours.

I love today.
