Lessons learned this weekend

The bulleted lists are back. Well, at least for today.

• Professors are people too, and are bound to show up at a wedding if they've had both the bride or groom for over 4 years in their class or hired them to direct the steel drum band. Thus I should be prepared for that.
• Some neighborhoods in Urbana don't believe in street lights making the trip to a place you've never been before interesting, especially when you realize reading street signs at 25 MPH is awfully difficult.
• Free, serve-your-own Killian's beer on tap was the best idea ever.
• I can drink beer all night and not wake up with a hangover.
• Being dipped while dancing drunk is difficult, but funny.
• Having a Walgreen's in the same parking lot as the hotel is ingenious. (You never know when you'll need it.)
• There's a Target in Champaign that has the same wrapping paper as the Target in Dubuque, so when you (i.e. Gretchen) forgets the wrapping paper you can replace it.
• Getting caught with the deck at the end of F*** the dealer is a good way to catch up.
• You can talk about 4-square in a Maid of Honor toast.
• I should take out my contacts before I hit the after party.
• Going to Cornell weddings stag can be fun.
• Going to work Monday morning after a weekend of drinking and hanging with Cornell alums is not so much fun.
  

Pictures are up on Facebook. It's going to take awhile to recoup completely, but it was totally worth it.
