Twenty-eight in a college town feels like ripe old age, but there’s still tons of fun to be had.

The George Bush Presidential Library
I left Aggieland yesterday morning, passing through Houston and Dallas before finally touching down at home in Atlanta. This assignment passed in a blur! Being sick with the flu for the past week has made me a grouchy old bear, but I’m still sorry to leave. There was so much more to see and explore in College Station and the surrounding cities. And I worked with so many wonderful, colorful, fun people here! I’m leaving richer by many new friends.
Before I left, though, I wanted to see the George Bush Presidential Library at Texas A&M. I’d seen signs for it constantly but never had a chance to peek inside.
Holiday Hoops with the Aggies
Finals and graduation are both finally over in College Station. Most of the 90,000 Aggies are at home for the holidays now, and traffic has finally become less frenetic. Before yesterday it was kind of dangerous to drive anywhere in a town full of sleep-deprived students.
Rumor floated through my new home this morning that there was a Texas A&M basketball game that night. I don’t think I’ll be here for any home football games… And to be honest, I like basketball better anyway. Luckily, with everyone out of town, there were still tickets let the day of the game.
Aggieland
Good morning from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson international airport, where it’s not even five o’clock yet. Sleepy people are lined up at the security checkpoint questioning their life choices, especially the ones involving ungodly flight times. The ones with their hair done in curls or beachy waves went above and beyond to look great… All most of us ask is that fellow travelers have the respect to shower before their flight.
