After leaving Hawaii, I got to Shreveport and had 18 hours before my next flight to Providence for my 10th year college reunion. I got as many errands run as possible, including sending off one of my passports to the agency that will procuring my visas for my trip to central Asia in September. Apparently, it will take nearly three months for them to get them all. I had lunch with my dad, and then dinner with my mom, sister-in-law and adorable niece and nephew. The following morning, I had to get up at 4:30 to be up and ready for my 6am flight. I used Delta Skymiles to pay for the ticket, and definitely got what I paid for... Both flights were delayed. Way to bat 1000, Delta. At least they are consistent with their suckage. I got into Providence a little later than expect, but hit the ground running. I got all checked in, got my housing settled, then met up with my former roommate, Wick. We went on an alcohol run, and got started. That night was campus dance, which is a formal. I got all suited up, and Wick and I talked our other former roommate, Jess, into driving down from Boston. She did, and it was fun.
The next morning was spent shaking off the "morning afters" and before we knew it, it was time for Field day. I met up with another group of friends from school who I hadn't seen the first night, and we got all caught up. After field day and lunch, I went to take a nap (I was still a bit jet lagged and hadn't gotten much sleep the last couple of nights). Then it was time to meet a group of friends for dinner, watched waterfire (a Providence tradition), and then went to our 10 year reunion dance party, where I met up with more friends I hadn't seen in far too long. We made a brief detour from the dance party to go to an arch sing (a Brown tradition), where thanks to Wick, I was able to fulfill a dream I've had for years... We had an after party, then I stumbled back to my dorm room, and slept for a few hours, before it was time to get up this morning for my flight to New Orleans. A great weekend of friends I haven't seen in far too long, catching up, alcohol, and fun. All in all, a great weekend!
