Fast forward. Waaayy forward
I like to daydream about life after the hell that is January. Please bear with me.
Hawkeye, FlyingV, and UNICorn all received good news last Friday. They all passed their actuarial exams that they sat for back in November. Now all three are done with exams and will not have to study next fall during college football season. Ironically, next year is the last year that Michigan and Iowa play each other in football until 2009. The four of us have talked for a while about going to a Michigan-Iowa game together, but because of exams, no one else was ever able to go. I polled the group for interest in the game next October in Ann Arbor. Everyone is interested, so we're going to go. Hopefully there will be a home hockey game that weekend too. Hawkeye already started the trash talk with this e-mail:
"I’ll bring a Ziplock for my turf souvenir – but then again beating Michigan at Michigan? Is that really cause for rushing the field?"
Good luck getting a piece of the FieldTurf, Hawkeye. For those not in the know, Hawkeye was referring to the fact that I decided to make a friendly phone call to her while I was taking a Saturday afternoon stroll on the field at Kinnick Stadium last fall just to tell her that the turf was in great shape given that a football game was just played on it. For some reason, she was offended by the phone call.
While I was thinking about the Iowa game, I realized that I will be going to anywhere between three and five Michigan football games next year. The definites are @Minnesota, @Penn State, and Iowa. The maybes are Wisconsin (if I get to go on the recruiting trip for work), and @Ohio State (just because).
I'm fried from a tiring day of work, so that is all tonight. Goodnight.
