when we first got there, we met rob at prexy and listened to him play the piano while we drank.  he played chopin, debussy, gershwin.  i forgot how much i love piano.  when we were freshmen he lived in our dorm and played piano for us every day.  then we all went to greywood and got free cookies and popcorn.  we wandered around campus looking at all the weird things everywhere.  donna and i walked through the maze-- the goal was a kiddie pool filled with colored balls.

i got to see a bunch of people i haven't seen in a while.  every time i saw someone i said "guess what!" and pulled off my hat "i shaved my head!" and they would rub my head.  i got to see phil, who i haven't seen in a year.  he was really drunk and kept hugging me and donna and being completely insane.  i looked for brannon but i couldn't find him.  then we found hannah and went to the hip hop show in the student union.  i didn't really feel like dancing and it was really loud.  i sat by the wall and watched people for a while, then i decided to walk home.  on the way i thought about plants.  it didn't take as long as i thought.

i walked down 28th, past my old house at 28th & raymond.  i thought about how different i am than when i lived there.  and it reminded me of all the summer evenings when i would walk to the red & black or powell park.  i checked the dumpster that used to have lots of nice wood, but it was empty.
