"Didn't you graduate?" "Why are you here?" People were a little surprised to see me at Houghton suddenly. I told some of them, with a smile, that I just came for a visit. I told others I came to watch the soccer games and glaze the ceramics I made a year ago. I think I accidentally responded a few times with "I don't know..."
I wasn't able to catch up with everyone at college, or anyone really. Many people I didn't even see. But a few impromptu meals with good friends and the quick hugs and even the passing "hey!"s were much better than nothing. And I'll have to make another trip back up to fetch those ceramics after they've been fired...
My glazed creations as I left them, bravely awaiting the flames of the kiln. Meanwhile, thanks to a ride from my friend Erin, I was able to visit my grandmother in Buffalo before I came home. We went out to a coffee shop and the three of us chatted and laughed over funny stories. Grandmother and I shared a plate of tiramisu french toast.
By the way, if you are ever in East Aurora, The Taste coffee shop is my favorite place and you should go there. Everything is delicious and the people are super nice. They'll only give you the Frankenstein Monster waiting card if its the last one they have, and they'll look you in the eyes and beg you not to take it personally.
