Dear Rachel McAdams: Letter Fifty One

Wednesday April 29, 2009

Dear Rachel,

Do you know what victory tastes like? As of tonight, I do. Tonight my ultimate Frisbee team won the Boston College intramural championship. We had to play three games in one night to win, and we beat some pretty good players, most of whom play for the BC club team. Everyone on my team is a PhD student, most of us in the Economics department. It's a lot of fun to beat undergraduates.

By the way, victory tastes like 8 or 9 of us getting to Bluestone at 11:00 PM and ordering 4 pizzas and 5 pitchers of beer. And it tastes even better when sampled from a "Boston College Sports Champion" mug, which along with a T-shirt was our reward for a convincing 3 point victory in the finals.

I have now achieved everything I need to achieve at Boston College. If I end up with a PhD, even better. But I don't need it. Not after this.

Sincerely,

Nick Punto
