Waiting for my real life to begin

10 Little Things I (Somewhat Surprisingly) Miss About College:
1. the salad bar at Sherman
2. the mailroom's package slips
3. Rick Recht Havdallah (YES I SAID IT)
4. "If it's Thursday, something must be happening"
5. Shabbat (note: does not apply to Sherman Shabbat dinner)
6. my meal plan with 1,000,000,000 points to be used at the C-store, particularly for bulk candy and Cadbury eggs (note: does not apply to Chicken in a Biscuit)
7. being a tour guide
8. the staccato dial tone/little red light on my phone that signaled: "Voicemail!"
9. that adventurous "shortcut" through the science quad (I think it's gone now, which is why I kind of miss it)
10. rachelis@brandeis.edu ("Rachel is at Brandeis -- I get it!")

I can think of few things I miss about grad school, and most of them involve a combination of our funky attic apartment, television and Carrie. (Fond memory: After every show we watched together, the announcer would encourage us to "stay tuned for scenes from the next episode," and Carrie would inevitably echo eagerly, "Scenes!", which is something I think of now every time I hear that phrase.)
