| | Working Reunion at Wellesley for the second time has been a lot of things. It's been fun, tiring, exciting, and cold so far. I've met more students here as well as alumnae and gotten involved in many different activities over a short period of two days. I've helped decorate, prepare dinner, serve drinks (non-alcoholic though sadly enough), help people check-in, direct them to places, etc. I've listened to Madeline Albright speak and helped set up the dinner she would eat that night. She's rather small and petite and looks frail but her voice is strong and loud. She is funny, resolute, yet warm. I've been on my feet, dozing behind other workers, waiting for jobs to come in, and transporting ice, and drinks to class festivities. I've pondered whether or not to just stop working at 1 pm or keep going. I found out Hillary Clinton was at Jewett and saw her cute and serious looking Secret Service men. I've also tried to sleep in my freezing cold room for two nights so far, curling up, tossing and turning, and finally waking up to a sore right shoulder and neck. It's been fun being excited with the rest of the alumnae. And, I've got one more day of it. Hopefully, I'll get to watch the parade too. I always get teary-eyed at those things. It makes me look forward to when I get old and hopefully successful. To live a long and meaningful life and return to happy memories.
Also, to see the old couples and how they interact. It makes me really, sincerely hope that I can find someone with whom to grow old with and still be as cute a couple as these old couples are. Until our hair turns salt and pepper colored.
'Class of the 4's and 9's, congrats!' as this student goes to sleep while you guys drink the night away. Man, the amount of beer and wine they're having, sheesh!
