Midweek Special

February 11^th

Dear JMU and All Friends, who reside there,

            I have been neglecting you lately, yet thinking about you more and more. I hope that the cold winter has not been too harsh. I hear that school has been cancelled or delayed quite a few times, so that is always good news.

            Soon spring will blow in and the quad will be illuminated with Frisbee throwing, puppies that girls cannot take care of, kids on towels skipping class, and the mighty sundresses that we all know and love. Not far after that it will be SUMMER.

            For those of you who may be graduating, I hope that you all are having as much fun as possible in your last semester at college / fantasy land. I expect some visits next year. We have had a good run and I’ll never forget that memories that I actually remember with you all.

            You all know as well as I do that James Madison University is a playground for college kids; a ridiculously amazing time to say the least. What you all don’t know that I have been privileged enough to come to find out is how renowned we really are. When I first started my 48 hour journey here I was meeting a lot of kids from the Northeast. The moment I said that I went to JMU it was a shocker. Most all of the kids that had heard about JMU had been there on a visit and had a wild weekend to share with me. There was a general theme of how nice everyone was, the food was good, the disbelief that beer really was free, that you were invited to every party just as much as anyone else (for the most part), and that there were girls and lots of them.

            I guess that having gone to school there for 3 years I became numb to it. Not that I took going there for granted, but that I didn’t realize how envious others were of the place that I call my school.

Hope all is well in the Burg,

LB
