Right after my parents arrived today from Alabama, I visited UVA since my sister lives nearby in Crozet. I hadn't been back in a while, so it was cool seeing some of the new construction on Grounds. Damn, the JPJ Arena is huge! The Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Justin Timberlake will be performing there in a couple of months. Man, you current students have it good. Back when I was UVA, big name performers didn't come by too often. I also envy the Comm students who will get to attend classes in the new Comm School. Oh well, I guess it's good to attend a school during a multi-billion dollar capital campaign.

Happy Holidays!
