Near the starting point, activity is a flurry! |
Coming back to HoTT as an alumni now, I feel my perspective has changed. This truly is a homecoming because for four years, Trent (and Peterborough) was my home. Here, I made friends who are now my family. Some of them remain in Peterborough whereas others have, like me, moved away to other things. This then, is a weekend where we can come together like one of those crazy family reunions. Throughout the weekend, I know there are some who I'll see for an hour or more and we'll chat and eat, and catch up. With some, I'll only have time for a quick hello and a how are you? before we're whisked away, and still others will be like those obscure aunts or uncles that you only ever see from a distance and through a crowd. Whatever the case may be, this time together is precious all the same.
Today, though the weather is cold and rainy (as per usual HoTT), we congregate with each other along the banks of the Otonabee river, celebrating our years at Trent and cheering on the undergrads who are still there. No matter where we come from and where we're going, we all have one thing in common: we all bleed Trent green.
Head of the Trent is Hot-to-go! H-O-T-T-O-G-O!

Time to turn around |
