There's only one place I'd rather be than Cambridge. Well maybe two, but my lack of French language skills makes living in Paris unfortunately a no go. If I wasn't in Cambridge I would hopefully be living in Storrs, CT...the college basketball capital of the country!
I'm a huge UConn Husky fan, and it's just about time for the best season of the year... college basketball! I'm what you might call a fanatic fan.... I have pom poms, game day rituals, a stuffed animal Husky, and a different Husky shirt for every day of the week.
Last night was First Night and JO and I headed down as soon as I was done with work. I wasn't even tired from having gotten up at 5:15 to go to work early. We hit a ton of traffic on the Mass Pike, so I missed the autograph session, but we made it with enough time to catch the pre-event twirling which made me smile. The show itself was great. The highlight video was awesome and the slam dunk contest was a lot of fun. I'm all pumped up for another run to the National Championship.
Once upon a time, I dreamed of moving to UConn and getting my PhD. I came really close a few years ago and was horribly disappointed when that didn't work out. My mind still wanders in that direction every so often, but I can't imagine leaving the city for the small town, albeit college town atmosphere, that is Storrs, CT. Who knows? Maybe I'll retire there :-)
You have lived in both Paris and Cambridge, but you'd rather live in Storrs, Connecticut.
ReplyDeleteI know, the Huskies rule. But taking a step back for a moment from College Basketball hysteria... that is a rather amusing statement.
But what can I say? I'd rather live in the middle of the forest. So I can't judge.
Technically I haven't lived in Paris (but I have spent a fair amount of time there.) I used to dream of living in Storrs, CT... but now my dreams have drifted towards retiring in Storrs, CT :-)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't give up my Cambridge life for anything... it took too long to get back!
