June 24 - 25, 2002
Man, I never thought I'll be back to Champaign that soon again - hardly 3 years have passed and we are back again. Back to the place where we spent some 4 months in Spring 1999, studying our little brains off and enjoying the life of an American student. It felt so good to see all those places again, to walk over the Quad - my most favorite spot in Champaign, to be inside the Memorial Stadium, to sit again in the classrooms where we had exams, quizzes but also a lot of fun! Spend the evening in one of Champaign's student pubs, go grocery shopping at Osco and Meijer… doing all those little, actually quite unimportant things again made me feel good.
While being in Champaign, we (Jason, Oli and I) stayed at Jenny's (again a friend from India) place which is just a stone's throw away from our apartment back in 1999. We had a very amusing ;-) evening together, and a yummy BBQ the next day; Jason made his car available to drive us around Champaign and Urbana; and last but not least, we met Anne again (we got to know her 3 years ago during our study-abroad time) which was nice as well!
Jenny, I gotta say "Thank you" - thanks for giving us a roof over our heads and the fun we had together!
