... was some good fun. After that, thought, I had to rush back to the hostel to watch the Fightin' Irish take on the Trojans to complete our undefeated season and win a spot in Miami for the BCS National Championship.

At a full sprint, I ran into the concourse to see my bus backing up. If I missed this one, I’d have to wait another hour, which would suck.
