Just Give Me Two Seconds.

Today I was just thinking about when I went to MCC last year, the classes I took and the people I'd met.
I drive past the school everyday going to work and I just started remembering my Intro to Philosophy. My teacher (Mrs. Keller, I believe was her name) was one of the most wonderful teachers I've ever had. The best thing about the class was she demanded us to THINK. To give input; our opinions.
While I almost can hardly recall any philosopher's name or what assignments we really did, I do remember meeting my friend Grant. The whole semester had gone by and we had never spoken to each other, we were both fairly vocal in class discussions.

Finally, one day in class we were all just talking, and Grant made a reference to Donnie Darko.
"What's Donnie Darko?," I asked.
"WHAT?! You've never seen Donnie Darko?! You probably don't deserve to live."
Gee, thanks Grant :)

I'll never forget that encounter, Grant is still one of the people I'll always be happy to hear from. His insights, opinions, and sense of humor are that only of a boy with too big of a personality for such a small town.
Ever have such a funny encounter meeting someone who all the sudden became one of the people who make you smile whenever you hear from them?

I've met quite a few strange people at MCC and this whole past year I'd almost forgotten I had even gone there for my first year of college.

The people in Lysistrata (Make love, Not war)...oh how I will never forget them. As much as I would like to forget a few of them, my brain won't allow it.


I really don't know exactly why I decided to post about MCC tonight. Maybe all those drives to Crystal Lake just jogged my memory or maybe being here makes me feel like I'm not really going back to Lindenwood...
