We ...I'm not sure when that tradition started. We did not do that when I was there...oh wait, you were there then as well:) I kinda' miss "whole hog, half ham" and Dixie, too. Bid day was Sunday - delayed from Saturday due to weather. I get by the house on occasion, but not so much now that E isn't active. I do have several former students who are there so I stay somewhat in touch. Of course, I'm in Fayetteville as much as possible to see the perfect ones. Are you coming to LR?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977857862182188636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-17273836046661717612009-08-24T21:39:56.347-05:002009-08-24T21:39:56.347-05:00Aaah!

John and I are going to Ann Arbor, U of M, (his alma mater) to watch a football game soon and I know he is looking forward to it....Christinexinexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100438341646700750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-64207429041867725852009-08-24T21:00:59.746-05:002009-08-24T21:00:59.746-05:00One of my friends from high school (with whom I...One of my friends from high school (with whom I've reconnected on FB) dropped his kid off at Penland Hall, Baylor, Waco, and there's a picture of his Mom---who was quite the hottie back in the day, and is still very attractive---and him in the room. They've painted the -hideous- TANGERINE bulletin board and pegboard (pegboard wall, so you could hang something?) chocolate brown, and there's a new light fixture, but otherwise it looks IDENTICAL to my old room at 245 Penland. I don't remember my first schedule, but I ABSOLUTELY remember registration. As Kathy points out, it involved the "stand in the middle of the gym and crane your neck" method. You stood in line for hours to get into the dang thing (and I registered the last day too), then stood in line for each class. Of course, they were out of the one you wanted, but they had Dr. Death for whatever at 7:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which necessitated moving American Lit (I placed out of Freshman Comp) to 7:30 MWF--so I had 7:30 classes every day, and morning is NOT my best time of day. Of course, my other classes were spaced just evenly enough to leave an hour or two gap here and there---not enough time to DO anything, but just enough time to mess up your day. Let's see, American Lit, Tennis (I took tennis all 4 years, hard to believe I used to actually be pretty good), Accounting I, Freshman Calculus (with Dr. Rolf, groan), Old Testament, and Chapel. And I PLEDGED, too, first semester of freshman year. Gerry Dunlap, my neighbor down the hall, dragged me to rush. I chatted with him the other night on facebook....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584588658233756298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3460394485823751681.post-25064845150674610122009-08-24T19:08:15.957-05:002009-08-24T19:08:15.957-05:00You are correct.

But for the life of me, I don't remember doing that when I was in school. I was there just shortly after you were.
