This past weekend I spent some quality time with two of the girls. And this coming weekend it looks like it might be the four of us in New Brunswick - something that hasn't happened for years! Watch out Rutgers...
It's strange and funny...and nice, I guess, because even if we haven't seen each other or spoken to each other in months (and months) hanging out is just like old times - like time hasn't passed. That's not to say that we haven't all changed so much since then - because we have. Some of us so much so that I have to wonder if our old selves would recognize the modern counterpart. There were graduate students who lived next door (poor them) to us when we first moved into the house on Neilson Street. For about 3 months we made their lives hellish. Thats when only 3 of us were living in the house. It's lucky that another group of 6 girls moved in next door after the graduate students moved out. Anyway. The point is that we were so annoyed by these graduate students because they would bang on the shared wall (we lived in a twin) when we were hanging out really late, or really early, depending on your view. They hated when we played music loudly at 4 am or when we were fighting after drinking all night or that one time when we were trying to win tickets to an Incubus show and one of us (who I will not mention) ran out of the house naked to tell everyone the station's phone number. We didn't win tickets, but we did win some dirty looks and rolling eyes from the graduate students. There was some serious mutual dislike going on this block of Neilson. We are now so much more those graduate students than I think we could have ever imagined.
Which I'm sure is a relief for our families...but hard to think about for us.
