In 56 days, I'll be back on campus at my alma-mater at an extra special homecoming as Lebanon Valley College continues celebrating its 150th birthday. In honor of that countdown, here's memory #56: watching my grades go slowly downhill.
First, the spoiler alert -- things only went up from here*.
Second, the explanation for that asterisk -- they only went up after I took a break of sorts.
As it said in the bio of the program from the winter 1992 play (two memories ago), I was headed west in May of that year (it said Ohio, but I actually ended up on the PA side of the border in Uniontown), and I was taking time off from school. Knowing that completely changed my attitude toward some of my classes in my rough junior year ... and it's my story (to which I'm sticking) that the Fs on this list stood for "Farewell" and were my professors' way of wishing me good luck on the next leg of my journey.
