Ha. I just looked at my last blog and realized that this is going to be repetetive.
Last night, I went to Cornell with Angela to visit Nathan one last time before he graduates (congrats, my brother my brother!). We weren't there very long; we got there at like 7:30 and left at 8:30 this morning; but I had a great time despite my deathly illness and lack of sleep because I ran into so many old friends! Actually, the first people that I saw that I know are from Naz, so that was random and weird. But then I saw my second cousin Jenna, and the Kelseys (Julie & Jenny, there for a bachelorette party), Katie, Andrea, Barbie, Jessica, John, Becky, and I don't even know who else! And even though the majority of the night was just me and Ang hanging out together and talking (I am so excited that we are living together again next year!), with the occasional interruption from an old friend, I was just reminded of how much of a history I have with so many people. Ang had no idea that that world even existed; that I knew that many people from all over and for so many different reasons. I guess it is pretty cool. Totally rad, if you will.
Anyway, Angela was amazed slash amused by the whole "farm culture." Apparently, I had forgotten to warn her that this was an Ag frat and that everyone that lives there is a farm boy. So I kept referring to everyone by the county they came from, and Angela was like, "do you call me Angela from Cayuga County?" Heck no! So then I was explaining that in all the dairy events, you compete as a county, so that's what you're associated with. Kindof like you would refer to people on sports teams as so-and-so from such-and-such school. And then we were explaining Ang's amusement to Andrea, and she was like "oh, from the second largest dairy county in the state!" and Angela was amused even more that someone would even know that. And that every person we talked to was pursuing a career in some kind of an agriculture related field.
All my friends at Nazareth are so far removed from my "cow friends" that it's ridiculous! It 's weird that I like them all so much; that people who are so incredibly different could all be so awesome to the same person.
So I guess this goes back to me needing to find a farmer husband! Dang.
