So, I just got back to campus after my weekend in Houston. The overwhelming euphoria I experienced last night still has not gone away, and I keep feeling the urge to watch a replay of the shot, just so I know it was all real and not just a dream. This weekend was an incredible experience, even before that shot last night. Never before have I seen the Nova Nation stronger than it was this weekend. Walking around with my Nova gear and hearing voices from across the street shouting out in cheer at me gave me a new sense of pride in my university. I had the opportunity to meet Villanova alums from a variety of classes and places. Every conversation I had made me more excited to become a Villanova alum in just a few weeks.
One of my favorite conversations came when I ran into the man himself, Eric! I expressed my gratitude for all his work, and I want to echo that sentiment again, today. If not for this board, I would not have been able to witness this historic event. With that, I want to give a special thank you to NovaUSMC01, djrun85, adp98, and tomdudes! Without you guys, I would not have been able to make the trip. I apologize for those of you I did not get to thank or chat with in person, but hear me now when I say that you allowed me to live out the best day/weekend of my life. Not to mention, today April 5th, is my birthday! And I will never need another birthday present again, because yesterday I got the best one of all time.
Thank you, everyone, for being a part of this incredible community. I feel privileged to be a part of it.
