Long Awaited

You know when you wait for something for so long and it always seemed so far away and then it sneaks up on you and then all the sudden it is over? Well that was the case for the Lake Forest/Washington University football game this past weekend. We knew about it two years ago and have been talking trash and making predictions for that entire time. And now that it is over (the score was 21 to 6 to Wash U) we can't look forward to it anymore. It seems like this happens all the time. For instance I was invited to be in a friend's wedding on November 3rd, 2007. Right now that seems like it is so far away, but I'm sure that it will be the day after the wedding in seemingly no time. But I aways seem a little dissapointed when a long awaited event passes. It may be because you spend so much time looking forward to it and building it up it can never live up the expectations that you create for it. Also I think that having something to look forward to makes bad days seem not so bad and taking that way makes hard times a little harder.
