I was fortunate enough to be in Iowa City this past weekend to see the Hawkeyes crush the national championship hopes of Penn State. And while some people say they feel bad because JoePa is old and PSU was the only Big 10 team that had a chance at the championship, I say who cares. I believed we could get the upset and we did. I don't care how any PSU fan feels, even my own sister. Enjoy the Rose Bowl, guys. I'll be reliving last weekend's game for the rest of my life. Which sounds sad BUT it was the best game I've ever been to. I'm glad I picked that game to visit Iowa. It was freezing but worth it.
Seeing all my friends was really nice too. Having a group of people to go back to like that is absolutely lovely. And they were all happy to see me so I felt special. Iowa City hasn't changed that much. A couple new bars, a few businesses are gone. But in general, it was like I had never left. Granted, it's only been 3 months since I left but still. I'm sure as I get older and it becomes obvious that I'm not a student, Iowa City will feel different. But for now, it's nice to go there and feel like it's home.
And I got some pep talks from my old professors and advisors so I have a semblance of motivation now. I'm trying to act on it quickly before it disappears. I'm doing an ok job of that.
On a personal note, real cold weather has arrived which means dry skin! It's the worst.
