I keep running into UVA kids everywhere. For how huge that school is, and how varied its graduates are, I sure as heck run into a lot of people from there. In addition to the episode over the summer, I ran into a girl I know on my most recent plane trip down to DC. My department sponsored a Sam Adams Brewery Tour Friday evening, and I ran into a girl wearing a Virginia Nursing shirt.

Last Thursday night, Ryan and I went to a schmoozing event at Ropes & Gray, one of the law firms who hired him for next summer. I randomly ran into a girl I knew from UVA. Her husband goes to UVA Law, and got an offer from the same firm, so they flew up here to Boston for the same mixer event.

Saturday, while walking home across the BU bridge, I stopped to check out the traffic on the river and watch some scullers start their Head of the Charles race. While stopped and gazing at the river, I heard my name called. It was an UVA friend who came into town to watch the races. How random that she happened to walk by where I was standing on the bridge?

Anyway, that’s 4 random UVA sighting in less than a month. That’s not to mention all the people I saw at the UVA vs. BC football game, but that’s not exactly random since many alums went.
