Kris Jordan

Birthdays are times to celebrate, if you ask me. So celebration is what I did. On Wednesday, the 28th, my actual birthday I kept things low-key. Quite a nice surprise came about when I picked up my Duke tickets. I was randomly selected to have risers! So two firsts in the last home game of the season and of my undergraduate career: being in the risers and being at a Duke game. It is going to be crazy! Pretty high likelihood of being on TV at some point.

Last night was the designated night of festivities. Dinner was held at 411 West. The group of 14 was made up of a variety of friends. Everyone got dressed up and it was a delicious meal. After dinner we headed back to the house for a cocktail like party. The title was: Kris Wine & Grind 2007. With the help of Aubrey and some friends we stocked up on Kris Wine. The goal was 22 bottles for 22 years but we fell short at 16. If you haven’t had the joy of consuming Kris Wine I highly recommend it. No bias with regard to the name or anything. We also had a pony of Carolina Brewery’s Amber Ale. Between the card games, garage pong, and dancing in the living room it was an extremely fun event. I should have pictures up shortly.

As an aside, my graduate school choice has been narrowed down to either Brown University or UNC Chapel Hill. I am flying to Providence this Thursday and look forward to meet their department and get a sense of the school. It is definitely relieving to have a better sense of what life is going to be like as this chapter closes out.
