I love Goldy--everyone knows that I love Goldy--but really I don't feel like a Golden Gopher, despite my 11 years here. I love this place but I wasn't one of those people who thought that college was the greatest time of their life and I wasn't really into school when I was here. I liked it but I wasn't gung-ho or anything. Now that I have a better understanding of what all takes place here, I am really impressed with what the U has accomplished and I am proud to be a part of it, but I still feel a bit like an outsider.
Maybe I am just too conservative and this place is just too liberal.
But, seriously...wouldn't you think that after 11 years, two degrees, two full-time positions, and three part-time positions that I should feel like I am one of them? I would say that I am just not one of those people that ever feels truly connected but I did really, truly feel connected to Neuron Data/Blaze Software/Brokat Technologies/HNC/Fair Isaac so I know that I can.
Regardless, you have to admit that Goldy is pretty damn cute!

Your stuffed friends sort of remind me of Noah and Caleb, or maybe Noah and Ellie.
