On the Hill

This past weekend Psi U hosted our annual Parents’ Weekend. This is always a fun weekend since we all get to see our parents but more importantly, we get to see other brothers’ parents which is always good for a few laughs. My Mom came this year and got in late Friday night. Since she is an alum, she wanted to grab a drink in collegetown so we stopped in at Stella’s which is sort of a trendy restaurant/bar.

The next morning we went down to Cayuga and hopped on a cruise around the lake. The cruise actually was about two hours long and I think we went all the way to the other side of the lake. We got to admire all the nice houses on the shore as well; it is quite a desirable area. Angela’s Mom made the trip up to Cornell as well so they joined us on the cruise. After the cruise we met up with my aunt and uncle who were in town for my cousin’s fraternity parents weekend and went out to Maxie’s (my favorite restaurant.) It was good seeing them – my uncle is actually a cartoonist http://www.glasbergen.com/ so he provided quite a few laughs.

After dinner we headed back to the house for the Parents’ Formal. This was definitely the best part of the day because we had brought in a band that usually plays at our semi-annual crush party. His name is Jamie Notarthomas, check him out Jamie Notarthomas. He certainly got the crowd going and although my Mom went home a bit early, Ange’s Mom stayed pretty late in the night dancing up a storm with us. He did a great job of playing songs the parents would want to hear and keeping everyone pumped up with songs like “Shout.”

I might be MIA for the better part of this week. I have a massive, massive project due Thursday. I pulled an all-nighter last night for it and we are nowhere near even being in the vicinity of complete. Wish me luck (I think I say that way too much for a second semester senior who should be relaxing…)
