About me: This group exists as a means for Grinnell Alum and current Grinnell Students to interact with other Grinnelians. Hopefully leading to rekindled friendships, feuds, allegances & romances.
Who I'd like to meet: If you went to Grinnell, this is a group you need to join
so this is where the party is...where the heck was my invitation. i love a good party...unless i'm that person that shows up at the party that everyone hoped wouldn't...
Hi felow Grinnell people! I still miss Grinnell myself. Graduated in 2000 and was just thinking today back on the good, the bad and the ugly times back then. It would be great to go back, but for now, I'd be satisfied to connect and think fondly about those days with fellow Grinnell grads. :)
There was this rumor that I was smoking pot on the railroad tracks near the Dean's Office. I found this out and, instead of waiting for controversey to come to me (which was not something ANY Grinnellian should ever do or has done - we usually either create it or confront it...I like it that way), I marched myself into the office and found Jenn Crohen.
'Hi Jenn, I hear there is a rumor circulating about me smoking Pot on the railroad tracks, is that true?'
'Uhm...yes, Anthony - that's the rumor. I've heard it.'
'Can we talk about that?'
'Sure - that sounds like a good idea.'
'So...you know what I do, right?'
'Right.'
'And I know you know what I do, right?'
'Assumedly, that's why you're here.'
'Right. Exactly. So - let me put it to you this way.'
'Ok...'
'If I know you know what I do, would I really be stupid enough to do what I do in front of you? Would I do anything to call more attention to myself?'
'No, I doubt you would.'
'Excellent - that's my point. I'm glad we had this talk.'
'Me too.'
She hugged me and cried when I graduated. I loved her. Oh - and Tom Crady says hello. He looked rather nervous when I stopped by.
I remeber way back in 90, smoking in the dining halls before it was banned. Even smoking in some class rooms, on the back couch in Econ 101 in the old sandstone building by the art center, if any of those things still exist. And not that I advocate drinking in class but lets just say its been done, all of it. Maybe the profile could be separated in chunks of 5 years or so, since hardly anyone makes it out of there in 4.
Grinnell College doesn't drink or smoke? Since when? I remember the smell of stale beer and cloves wafting through dorms every Saturday and Sunday morning. . . oh to be back in Yonker lounge again.
