Homecoming at Dartmouth

After quitting I did the only thing I could think to do... leave BC and head north to see friends. I had completely forgotten that this was their Homecoming weekend but seeing the halfway constructed bonfire in the middle of the green I knew it was going to be a good time to visit. Thursday ended up being a typical night in the Psi U basement however they have gotten a new pledge class which is always exciting! Seeing Matty and Ben 'all dressed up' was just adorable!

After a quick trip to the hospital on Friday morning (yes my eye issues are back and in full force) I spent the afternoon sailing in the rain with the Dartmouth team and it was blast. Somehow I forgot that sailing should be fun even if it's raining, you're eye is swollen and watery, you're tell tails are wet and you're not winning every race. It made me realize that I had picked the wrong college sailing program... it wasn't so much me but the program I was part.

Friday night was the big campus bonfire which is just one more thing I can check off the list of things to do at other schools. It was still raining a bit but the ridiculously dressed and naked freshman running around the bonfire was definitely a good distraction. I found this video of last years bonfire which is exactly like this years except their were more umbrellas and this video of the bonfire falling. All and all a great way to spend the end of my week.
