The Triumphant Return
I went up to Rose yesterday for the graduation rehearsal/senior send-off. Well, I really went to visit friends, and that was just my excuse. The senior send-off was nice though, they had a BBQ for us, and all of the seniors were there, so I didn’t have to track people down to see them.
They started hitting us up for donations at the rehearsal. They found some poor sap of an alumni to tell a bunch of seniors in their last week of college that giving money back would bring them good karma. They also handed up donation envelopes right there for our convenience. They had $1 bills in them which we were apparently supposed to give back as our first official donation to Rose-Hulman. At least, that’s what everyone else did. I honestly wasn’t listening to the speaker at that point so I have no idea what they really wanted. I, obviously, just kept the dollar.
I got other good news while I was there. My senior design team got an award for 2nd best presentation at the senior symposium. We get a cash prize, $38/person, so that’s pretty nice. Even I get one, despite the fact that I wasn’t at the symposium. Maybe I should use the money to take the rest of the team out for dinner or something. That would be nice of me, but I’ll probably end up keeping it…
