Speaking of, we have our first Triple Classmate of the Day:
Lyndsey, Leah and Holly all showed up at Under the Volcano last night
for drinks (as did Paul, Kelly and Jean-Marc but since I've been
drinking with all of them many times before, the newcomers who I've
never had drinks with before get the nod. Okay, and to be honest
I've probably had drinks with all three of them in big “20 people show
up at the Grad Club after we get out of class early” settings but that
doesn't really count to me.)

There's still a few classmates who I've never had a drink with in a
smaller group which is unfortunate. We had one classmate come out
to our regular Friday afternoon at the Grad Club get-togethers for
their first time on our last day of class before Reading Week
started. They later told me, “I learned more in two hours of
sitting at the Grad Club than I have in two months of library
school.” A bit exaggerated of course but true in many ways
too. This is where you learn a lot about how library school
works, which classes are worth taking in future semesters, good versus
bad co-op jobs and all kinds of important information no one except
other students who've had a drink or two will tell you.
