The President

Went to the "Senior Scoop" tonight, which is the ice cream social at the university president's house exclusively for those of us graduating. The main reason people go, besides the free ice cream, is the gift they give to each senior. This year it was a travel alarm clock with "Taylor University" in the bottom corner. Brilliant. In order to receive it, you had to shake hands with the president as he said "Congratulations." It was the first time I've been within 10 feet of him, and the second to last time I'll see him-the final time being graduation day, when again I shall shake his hand and receive a "gift" from him.
