Apparently these are the things that Jillian and I believe are needed for survival of grad school in Iowa...I don't think either of us would last a week.
1.) Wire hanger with monkey bookmark
2.) Six-pack of Sam Adam's
3.) One package of Thomas' English Muffins
4.) Dial foaming hand sanitizer
5.) Corn-on-the-cob skewers
6.) Jet-Alive or some equally generic and on-sale caffiene pills
7.) Kleenex
8.) Generic Tylenol
9.) Tiny plastic farm animals
10.) Coloring book of "Ponies and friends" cleverly disguised as "Unicorns and friends"
11.) Crayons (no glitter...no one likes glitter.)
12.) Scary military book cover
13.) Granola (To be a hippy or lure new lesbians friends - didn't you know that all lesbians liked granola?)
14.) U.S. Puzzle map - uniquely labeled by the friends you are leaving behind to clearly indicate the distance and route back to Indiana.
15.) A blue-pineapple shaped cake that everyone thinks resembles a fish with a deformed tail.
...and of course, as many inside jokes as humanly possible.
Jillian, Evan, Dan Lash, Bob Billy, and I, plus some Hallet and friend action got together Saturday in Bloomington. The Evan Blast Off to Iowa countdown has begun...9 days.
