Just finished taking my final, not sure how it ended up. Grad school is so different from Undergrad. You can fail every single thing in Undergrad, pass your final, make a B. You can make an A on everything in Grad school, fail your final, fail the course.
With the stresses of money, everyday life, school, etc., I thought it would be nice to have an en-tree, just for fun. Hope you enjoy.
Last year sometime, Anna Beth, Drew, Tessa and myself were playing Bocce out on Bowman field, at God's house, aka Clemson. The game was intense. Sweat pouring from our bodies... well, my body, because I am fat. Just ahead of me I saw a giant tree, with a giant hole. I thought, "What if I can just land the Pallino inside that hole, this will make for an interesting game."
Surprisingly, I landed it directly into the hole! Drew was first to throw, nothing but net... well, hole. Next, was AB, swish... well, squish. Tessa's rimmed out, then mine fell perfectly into the hole.
We all laughed for a solid 10 minutes.
Thank you majestic tree, without you, the Bocce would not have been as fun.
I remember this event quite well. I walk around campus sometimes and wonder just how much these trees know. Clemson's trees are like an old Skillet. Go with me on this. The longer they're around the more flavor they have. These trees have seen the 3rd most WW2 veterans, the first black college student in SC, hippies, frizbees, drought, rain, Gameday, homecoming, school work, heard a thousand stories, and all the while provided shade, breezes, protection, and comfort. If only we could offer ourselves as the trees here do we recieve an open invitation to life. I appreciate the series BoPa
