So... I don't understand the point of having a "free write" if it's supposed to be about Homecoming. But, whatever. Actually, I was slightly upset about Homecoming. Couldn't Howard have it when it's warmer? (or at least when it's not 65 degrees outside?) Freezing weather aside, Homecoming was what I expected it to be: another Howard party. It was a BIG, LOUD, WEEK-LONG party, sure, but a party nonetheless. Thus, (as I'm not what you would call a "party person") I stayed away from most of the Homecoming "activities". However, I did attend the Homecoming parade (because it was free) and Yardfest (because it was free, and it gave out free food). Both were nice, but I didn't stay very long at either one. I believe I watched about ten minutes of the parade before I took off with some of friends to Potbelly's on Georgia Avenue to escape the biting cold. And Yardfest... yeah. As soon as I got some food, I rolled out. Sorry Howard, but I just wasn't feeling it. Ugh... it's hard to talk about Homecoming when I wasn't a part of it! Um, I believe that Howard won the game against North Carolina A&T during overtime, which is a miracle in and of itself. It would have been nice if I... you know... actually went to the game, but those tickets were just a wee bit pricey for me. All in all, Howard's Homecoming as all right, for a non-party animal like myself.
