It was gorgeous in Scranton for a week straight, I swear! You wouldn't know it now if you looked out a window, but it was (dare I say it?) tropical last week. The GLM patio was like a beach. Every inch of green space on campus was populated by sun bathers and frisbee throwers. Every off campus lawn had a grill and beach chairs. That one week confirmed that Scranton really can rival those Florida schools in beauty.
And almost like a sign from above the beautiful weather culminated on our one and only home game for rugby. Our field actually didn't look that back considering it was an old baseball outfield that was lined to be a crooked soccer field. The dust we kicked up ( there's no grass by the way) was nearly unbearable, though. (Here's a secret: Rugby is the black sheep of the Scranton sports teams, especially since we are a club team. We can't wear purple. We aren't the Royals. The school didn't even put the uprights in - we played with duct taped PVC pipes.) Despite all this ....*drum roll* ... WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, you read it right, it was our first, last, and only win of the season!!! We beat Muhlenburg 19-10. I can only describe it as a thing of pure beauty. There may be a documentary coming out... think Remember the Titans or Miracle. Im just kidding...unless you are a movie producer and then I'm totally serious.
The signs are here. The "Sell your books back here!" signs. It's a sign of the end of the year. All of the loose ends are being wrapped up. Most of my friends already have housing planned out for junior year. The outside of Denaples is almost finished and the rumors are spreading about what houses are being knocked down over the summer. This is the first summer I'm not 100% thrilled about. Don't get me wrong, I have the worst case of Jersey shore withdrawl, but I'm afraid the campus is going to change so much over the summer. I'm not ready to be a Sophomore!! Only 3 years left? That can't be right! And don't even say the F-word...FINALS! I need to go do some work but I'm not saying goodbye yet - only...
See you later!
