Fun With Nittany Lions

My better half went to Penn State and she claims it's the greatest place on earth. So, thanks to her invitation, I went back to school last weekend and made my first trip to Happy Valley for Penn State's annual Blue-White Weekend. I told everyone I met that Michigan and Ohio State don't even know what Penn State is. Penn Staters don't like to hear things like that.

It was the perfect weather weekend to be out and about. We checked in Friday afternoon at the beautiful and luxurious Days Inn. Ate dinner at the Corner Room. Had dessert at the famous Creamery. Got our drank on Friday night at the G-Man and Dark Horse. Friday night consisted of several shots of alcohol, which is what probably lead my friend to hop on one of those hotel luggage carts and ride it down a flight of stairs, proceeding to break his face. Yikes.

On Saturday, with the stomach still feeling the effects of Friday night, I managed to only eat a hot dog and a salad all day. Good nutrition right there. I walked to Beaver Stadium to catch some of the Blue-White game. After the game, I went to Mad Mex to watch the Flyers lose to Pittsburgh with a bunch of folks from PA's left coast. Worst. We then moved on to Cafe 210, where we hawked out a table outside and stayed there all night.

It was a solid weekend in State College, PA. I'll be mailing my undergraduate application shortly. Hmm. 25-year-old undergrad. Creepy or awesome?
