I was back at my Alma Mater this weekend -- I'm on the Alumnae Association Executive Board and one of the twice-yearly meetings happened.
A couple of things -- and forgive me if I brain dump, but I was up until 2:30, then slept until 4:30 and have been up since. Athena + No Sleep = Confused, Befuddled Woman
1. apparently the answer to all questions is "class agents." It was interesting to note how a program that was started to engage alumnae has now morphed into a whole new deal.
2. 2 days in board meetings (on two of the most beautiful Missouri days ever) made me crazy. All I wanted was to go outside.
3. Seeing friends was an extra-special part of this weekend and I could just about weep over it right now. Mind you, I'm tired and easily prone to fits of tears at this point, but really, thinking about the fact that I spent *one* year with these women and within a few short minutes, we were back again as close as ever astounds me. What an incredible college -- and that is why I'm so proud to serve.
4. I bought the cookbooks -- my college was known for the food and a big reason for that was the 5 star chef in charge of the menu.
5. I was both encouraged and discouraged by this weekend. I'm not sure which I feel more, which concerns me.
More later as my thoughts gel and I have more than two hours of sleep.
