Final Photo Round-Up

People have been popping up less frequently, and also another mega train game happened, but here are the final photos. We have fifteen minutes, so I don't have much time to do anything clever here. I'm sorry, my brain is liquid.

Have some photos:

Kristen and Derek somehow escaped from the computer. Weird CS stuff.

My mid-afternoon snack. Why is there only skim milk by the cereal? Whyyyyyy

Sean showed up!

Cassie!

Mermelhammer showed up, too! I went to high school with him!

And Emily! I went to high school with her, too! 

Dinner was underwhelming. Ratty dinner: potatoes two ways. I would put waffle fries at the top of my frierarchy if I made one.

This is dessert #1. I'm considering deserts numbers 2 and 3, chocolate milk and another bowl of Lucky Charms. I may not make it that far. One dessert might be enough.

So the end has arrived. We made it through the twelve hours with nothing but one minor emotional breakdown, and only one person succumbing to the beeping condition. In nine minutes we will make our exodus from one noisy echoing room to another noisier, more echoey room. BUT we get free teeshirts at this basketball game, and that makes it all worth it. Afterwards, even we extroverts will run from the Band room, dash into our respective holes, and not interact with another human for at least twelve hours. 

The Ratty Challenge has been incredible. I've been looking forward to this for the last three years, and it's ultimately been a fun friend-filled day. I've missed being on meal plan for the social aspect (NOT for the food), and even though I've enjoyed cooking my own meals for the last few years, I really do miss the conversations and good times that happen around campus meals. This day has definitely given me my fill, and I don't regret not getting much done that was on my to-do list for the day. It's been real, team. The fries have been awakened. Good luck to those juniors who did their practice run this year–we pass the baton onto you. We are down to seniors and crusties now. Expect a photo of all of us leaving sometime in the next 60 minutes. 

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!!!

Sidney out.
