at games are quiet. I yell, sway back and forth along with the students, jump up and down, etc., but there's no one else around me that gets into the games as much. The younger people nearby are better, but still not as into it as I am. I find myself quietng down just to fit in more and not get nearby people angry. I feel like a 20 year old trapped in a 73 year old body. I see all the excitement the kids are having and want to be with them. I am horse from yelling after the game, and very tired, but it's fun. I don't want to pretend to be young, I just want to be involved with the energetic folks.

I long to sing the fight song next to people that know all the words and belt them out the way I do. So I know how you feel. Yes, we're a little weird, but it sure could be fun being in that student crowd.
