Freed prisoner
I'm at work tonight and something jarred my memory of something that happened in college.
Freshman year there was a girl in my chemistry class who invited me to go skiing on a Thursday night in December. I said sure, where? This was in Bloomington. She said Aspen. Her dad was going to send the plane down to pick her up and take her to Colorado to ski and she wanted me to join her. I had a test that next day in the afternoon and said no since I needed to do the test. She told me to call professor and reschedule if I could. I said no. This was a girl who mailed her lacy things home every weekend to be cleaned and mailed back. I mentioned I didn't have my ski stuff at college and didn't really have winter gear. She said no problem, they'll just buy me new stuff. I passed. She was back next week with a nice tan on her face.
Also, I had the chance to tour Europe the summer before senior year of college. My cousin who I'm 2 days older than wanted to do it and my uncle would have paid for me to spend 8 weeks roaming around Europe with him. We basically grew up together. Unfortunately I had just accepted a job for $30/hr with an IT company downtown and said no because I saw lots of dollar signs. Then the job didn't pan out and I had no money and no free Europe trip.
