I took that class. I had Professor Gonzales. I never thought anyone could make me feel better about it, but you just did. What. A. Horrible. Class. I had a thing for Double Dave's Pepperoni Rolls. I once had a delivery of them to my dorm room. Inside the box they had written, "449 McFadden, Over 3 billion served." The memories - they bring a tear to my eye. (I'm headed to College Station for the Army game in September - I'd love to meet for a Big Gulp if you make it to that game!) OH Good Lord!!!!

I love the part about the .94 check. I totally remember writing a .92 check at McDonald's in Auburn (no other McDs I knew of accepted checks back in 1988!). I remember being a little stumped on how to write out a check for .92 - I thought "how do I spell that on the 'dollar' line?" I finally decided on "92/100" followed by one really LONG line! College...good times!!! Hillarious! I love the part about the .94 check. I totally remember writing a .92 check at McDonald’s in Auburn (no other McDs I knew of accepted checks back in 1988!).

So, that would be me you saw at the KwikMart today, with the wild eyes and the shakes as I debated if 96 ounces would be enough to support my habit.

As for me, I worked at a coffee shop so I had (free!) coffee, tea, or Italian sodas in class. Yum. In Aggieland now, a Nalgene with water is the popular choice.

That is good. As a college student at the present time, the drink of choice is coffees. Usually from Dunkin' Donuts as it is the closest to the college. Followed by a close second to McD's. The 1st time I went (1993), I believe it was a KwikSac beverage. .94 check. That is good.

When I was in college , waaaaaay back dodging the dinosaurs that were lurking behind every tree, there was a local restaurant that had the best tea. When we would lie out on our beach towels on the roof of the dorm (oh, yes, we did that)...everybody would send for the Richard's tea. Fond memories. Loved this post and love it now!
