On our way

CONGRADULATIONS on your big job offer!! It’s more than big, it’s over-the-top unbelievable!Thanks for the phone call too, I felt elated for like three days. I should expect free front-row tix to NBA playoffs annually, right? When you look down from your office way up there on fifth avenue, wave to me, I am the tiny spot that always loiters around the area and occasionally gets dragged away by the police (just joking, I won’t stalk you at your work, but I will always be your big fan!). How things have changed!! A couple years back we were preoccupied with Buffalo wings’ night and Mardi gras buffet at the dinning hall and the free T-shirts and mugs they gave out at college fair. Little did we know this is where and how we would be today! You were all worried, about getting that first Co-op, about the program in Australia, and about this job. Now look at where you are! You have made it through them all! I knew you were something special, I saw it in your eyes when we were both standing in that maddening crowd of freshman moving into Melvin (what a weird connection it was that we spotted each other). Hawaii, Australia, Mexico, Greece and now Europe, you have no limits! Your exuberance and fearlessness were definitely infectious and made my college life that much better! It saddens me that our time together on NU campus has come to an end. Next year it’s going to be hard, with you and 2pac gone. But we are on our way, to great things and even better days!

I love Motorcycle Diaries (both the book and the movie)!
