Kenyon in Chicago!

What a coincidence that the semester that I'm away from Kenyon, Kenyon comes to Chicago? Earlier today, Kenyon beat the University of Chicago in football. My Kenyon advisor told me once that if you walk around downtown Chicago with a Kenyon t-shirt on, there is a good chance that someone will approach you telling you that they are an alum, or something along those lines. I think that at today's football game there were more Kenyon supporters than U of C supporters! I ended up sitting close to the fabulous President Nugent, the chair of Kenyon's board of trustees, Dean Gocial and their loved ones. In good Kenyon fashion, I made fast friends with some alumni that ended up on the same bus as me. Our connection was, of course, our Kenyon t-shirts. 

The best part about this was seeing some of my friends. Everyone in the Newberry program is cool, but that doesn't mean that I don't miss my friends like crazy.
