I realized that at both points on the trip that we ran into other Miami students have alreadypassed in my narration. Oops.
first one was surprising, but really rather unremarkable, since we were only about an hour out of Oxford Wednesday morning. I mean, that there was a Miami student at that particular gas station at that particular timeto recognizethe school van was probably unlikely, but... not far from Miami, y'know?
The other one, though... We were in Harris Teeter, and this guy just walks up to us and asks "Do you guys go to Miami University?" and we're all "What the god damn?" and he tells us that he went to Miami for a year before transferring to UNC (he just graduated). Plus, at one point he lived in the dorm we were staying in. He saw the van in the parking lot, so his noticing we were Miami students wasn't creepy, but... We were in a grocery store in Chapel Hill at, like, 11:30, and we ran into a former Miami student. Eyebrow-worthy, that.
