Day 20/ 21

I woke up at around 1045, and Wayne was already up and at em'.  He was complaining abut a throbbing headache.  We both took showers, and then got dressed for lunch.  Wayne is a big croc wearer, and he always has been.  But, I do have to say that as against them as I was, after this weekend, I for sure will be entering college with them.  They are just too darn convenient.  Wayne's croc colors are pretty crazy : neon green, neon orange.  A little too crazy for a first timer like me.  We went to lunch at a new cafeteria, Dana. Even though it was 1130 I still ate two bowls of fruit loops.  Sometimes you can't beat the classics.  Wayne used his last free gust meal pass on me that meal, and I have to just award Wayne right no for being the monist awesome host ever.  He did an awesome job of showing me around, and introducing me to awesome people, and giving me free meals.  After lunch, we headed to the library.  I have to say, being in a library reminds me of home.  I don't know why, because I never spent that much time in the library during high school, but for some reason it does.  It brings a nice quiet feel.  So I worked on my blog, and was on Facebook while Wayne was doing spanish homework.  That sounded terrible.  We taped for about an hour and a half, and then it was time to play a pickup game of basketball.  I was pretty excited to play, because unlike soccer, I actually have a better background in basketball.  So we went to the gym, and started shooting around, while another pickup game was going on.  After about 30 minutes of shooting around, the actual mens basketball team took over the court, and kicked us to the smaller court.  There we played for about 2 hours, of solid 4 v. 4 games to 15.  Besides another guy that was there named Clay, I was the tallest, but definitely not the strongest.  I played decently well, I scored about 5 points per game, and I was getting a bunch of rebounds because of my height and jumping ability.  I wasn't that aggressive though, because I didn't see it fit to be.  I was playing a pickup game with a bunch of people I didn't know that well, no need to take it over the top.  I was extremely tired after the two hour playing, and directly after we walked to dinner.  We walked back with an international student, JJ, form Rwanda who was extremely nice.  We played basketball with him, and he is just a genuinely awesome person.  We met Wayne's friends for dinner and I had some pasta and grilled cheese.  I have to say that the cafeteria food was alright, but I could not see myself eating it for more than a year, which is a shame because if I went there, I would be...classic.  After dinner I took a nice hour and a half nap, while Wayne was video chatting his girlfriend from Colombia.  I took shower, and wasn't quite sure where Wayne was, because it had been a while since he started, but I got dressed and waited for him in his room.  After a good 30 minutes of waiting him and his friends from downstairs came banging on the door asking me to come down and hangout with them.  They were going off campus to a  party, and with some guidance by Wayne I courteously declined their offer to go out, but I hung out with them before they left, because for most it was the last time I would see them.  They really all were a nice group of kids, and I miss em' already.  After they left, Wayne and I decide to go see a movie, even though we were running late.  We ran into the Ides of March, and missed the first 15 minutes, but the rest of the movie was amazing.  It was extremely suspenseful, and the ending was extremely ambiguous.  Classic George Clooney.  Wayne and I were basically both mind blown, after the movie, and the 5 minute drive home was crowded with questions from the film.  We got back to the dorm, and hangout with his roommate Chris who was from Portland.  He was a super cool guy, super personable and really into rock climbing.  We went to bed around 130, and then this morning we woke up at 850.  Wayne showered, but I opted out because I knew I would be working at least a half day, and I would shower later.  So we packed up, and we went to breakfast, which wasn't half bad.  I had some bacon, which I haven't had in much too long, and some potatoes, and cereal.  We then went to one of Wayne's friends rooms and woke up his friend.  Hung out for a little, and by that time it was time for me to depart from Colby.  As we walked to where Troy was a picking me up I thanked Wayne too many times to count, and then wished him the best with the rest of his year, and his studies, and he wished the same for me.  Overall I liked Colby a lot.  At the start of my visit I had mixed feelings.  Wayne had a tough time there his first year, and Ii could definitely feel that.  I felt that the campus was quiet, because I only saw a few people walking around during the middle of the day.  But, after my stay, I really really enjoyed the school.  Besides its gorgeous campus, the people are gorgeous in their own way too, well at least the ones that I met.  Everyone is super nice, and super down to earth, and they are extremely focused on their studies.  I liked the environment, and in the end I actually think I liked how small it was.  It felt more like a small tight knit community to be honest.  By the time I left I had seen multiple people that I had met over the past day or two, frequently around campus.  It was fun, but maybe in later years could get old?  Strange to think about.  But anyways, the ride back to the farm was quick, Troy and I talked about colleges, and standardized testing, and before I knew it I was hauling my big red backpack up into my room again.  I unpacked and then got dressed for some work on the farm, and went out to pick spinach for an hour before lunch.  We had a steak stew, and some good conversation at the table.  I was surprised because apparently the whole family had seen my profile picture, that I took before I left, and they all thought it was hilarious, and my caption was even better.  We talked about how my weekend was, and so forth.  After lunch I finished my blog of yesterday, and then went back out and picked spinach until 545.  So even though I came back at 1130, I still worked about 5 hours today.  Not bad.  Dinner was a chicken type stew that they put on bread like a sandwich, which was very good with some cherry tomatoes.  After diner they finally had their homemade ice cream.  I still don't get why they only eat dessert sometimes, but it was nice.  After dinner, I called the rents, and winded down a little bit.  I can't wait to be home already!  Nighty.
