Hanging out with Kristina, I've been getting a feel for what it's like to have the big University experience. I'm beginning to realize that most schools aren't like Whitman. I mean, I've always known that, but it never really made an impression. We went to the hhockey game last night in which Mich Tech absolutely slaughtered University of Alaska Anchorage: 9 to 0. I had no idea hockey games could be so high scoring. I felt bad for UAA; that's a long way to come just to lose so badly.

Speaking of colleges, I met someone who graduated from Whitman yesterday who was taking our CXC Get Your Nordic On Clinic. I didn't know him from Whitman (he graduated in 2004), but it made me really unreasonably happy to run into another Whitman alum.
