Hello fellow Quadettes,
I'm going to Dan's wedding on June 11th, and, since it costs $500 roundtrip to fly from Ithaca, I'm thoroughly researching potential alternatives and conducting cost/benefit analyses. My #1 alternative idea: drive to DC, fly to Omaha for the festivities, fly back two days later, go to SMC with Erin for the later half of reunion weekend, sleep in her bed with her and Nick on Sunday (a perfectly appropriate Christian social activity), and then drive back to Ithaca on Monday, June 14th. Do you want to go down there Erin? Becca? Liz? Gwyn? (Order by assumed probability of interest in this activity). All of us?
And another "all of us" idea... COME VISIT THIS SUMMER!!! While speaking with our dear Nicola yesterday I was reminded that, of the 5 current members of the East Coast contingency, likely only Gwyn and Liz will still be here come Fall. One more reunion, with Erica and Nicky strongly encouraged to attend but not expected to? This time around we've got an actual extra bedroom at our sweet little country house as well as a huge backyard that would be excellent for fake camping. And Six Mile Creek, about 3 miles upstream from Gwyn's house, passes by across the road from my house. There is a swimming hole AT MY HOUSE. Er, ACROSS THE STREET. And a farm. And the neighbors have horses and cows. And we have a fire pit in the yard and can be loud because we are in the country! I will quit my job if necessary to accommodate the plans we might make.* So come. Let's have a blast! Early July would work best for me. Did I get anyone excited?
Mmkay, that's the end of my ganja-induced socialization sales pitch. Love you guys!

This sounds so great! I really want to see your beautiful country house. Unfortunately, I only have weekends this summer :(. I am doing my clinical affiliations for school and can't take any time off. I might have some three day weekends in the fall, but I won't know my schedule for that until the end of August. It is also possible that I will have a week at the end of August, but I am not sure about that yet either. Sigh, I miss you guys! I can't wait until I can finally have a regular job instead of all these school obligations!
Do'h, I just read Abby's happy and sad older post that she is moving to Las Cruces in August. Shoot.
Try try try! I really would love to see you folks this summer! I'm going to be gone on and off during parts of the summer, but it'd be so nice to get in one more Ithaca trip from you guys!
K... I will, someday I swear, post an update on my life. Main things of note: Still dating cute wonderful boy (same one since October,) still on track to finish the PhD soon, getting really into biking around Ithaca and saving up for a road bike, and got asked back to Level B for the next few weeks of some extra money/glorious (albeit temporary) return to bartending!
Love you all, and talk to you soon!
I'm not totally sure what my plans are at the moment (given my un-decided employment status)...
i am also very unsure of my plans and everything else in my life. justin and i broke up last night so everything is up in the air again and i feel really sad and down. But i would love to have a reunion in Ithaca before abby leaves. so lets do it!
I never really followed through with the reunion stuff, but I still REALLY REALLY want to go! Do you guys have a room? Does your room have extra (even floor) space? I am in Ithaca, but could easily drive down to join!!!

so...i started this post, and in classic mcspadden fashion, have definitely NOT done any more planning on the SMC reunion thing since then. i think it may be late to still sign up for the official reunion stuff, but i'll look into it. since it seems like not too many of us will make it, maybe we could plan a day trip/weekend/camping trip down at some pt this summer?
