6 days and counting

Mood: content, for now
Happy thought: paper cutters

My dad is kind of a nerd, but I love him for it. We like the reality show "The Amazing Race," where teams of two race around the world doing all sorts of crazy stuff. One day we'll be on it; just you wait and see.

In the meantime, though, he wrote me this in an email this morning and I decided to exploit it and count it as my post today.

College is kind of like an Amazing Race. There have definitely been Detours, RoadBlocks, and SpeedBumps along the way, but you have overcome them all. Each semester ending is kind of like a pit stop. Some people get eliminated along the way, but you are on the final leg. The mat is on the stage of the Knapp Center, where Phil Keoghan(in a President Maxwell disguise) is waiting. “4 years, 40 classes, 40 million words read, Meagan Savage, you have won the College Amazing Race!”

Gold star for the metaphor, Pop!
