I was thinking back to some of my good friends from university and am amazed how little I actually see them if at all. It’s incredible how far away some of them have moved. Last I checked Tom was in Greece and Jason was in Portugal. I would often see Tom at the Classics honors fraternity happy hours. Most people talk about girls and sports in this setting, but we would often get on other topics. Once I remember discussing the Venerable Bede. Ah, nothing like liberal arts nerds. I used to play squash alot with Jason. Since we were the only Americans who played at our university workout center, we used to joke about being Team America. We never actually did play the British or Arab students, however. And then there was Robbie, a really great guy studying to be a Methodist minister. I used to go to Robbie’s house to study Greek. More often than not, it would mostly consist of eating his great cooking (especially his sweet potato casserole), playing a racing computer game, and generally just hanging out. Some of my best memories are of not studying Greek together. It’s a shame how quickly we can lose contact with people whose friendship was once so important and with whom we shared so much of our lives  I’m going to be visiting Robbie this weekend and can’t wait. It’s about time.
