Back to the Future: Ithaca College Edition

My favorite Jamie story is an exciting one.  Jamie and I had our final film class together during our senior year at Ithaca College, and were randomly paired together as partners to complete the big end-of-semester presentation.

Because the only thing we really cared about at the time was the future success of our rock band, Jamie and I procrastinated and saved our project until the very last minute.  Only in the final few days did we learn that a failing grade might actually prevent us from graduating on time.  Needless to say, we were in danger of flunking most heinously .  An additional semester of college was looming for Jamie, but if I didn't graduate my father was threatening to send me to military school.  We were doomed.

Just when it seemed like all was lost, our advisor Professor Rufus approached us with a solution.  This began what Jamie and I now refer to as our most excellent adventure.  With some help from Professor Rufus, Jamie and I travelled back in time, collected history's best filmmakers into our phone booth, and used their knowledge to ace our final presentation.  I know this story sounds like something you might see in a farfetched 80s movie or something, but Jamie can vouch for the validity of it.  We nailed our presentation, graduated college, saved the future, and began a most excellent friendship.  Jamie is amazing, and definitely the best time traveling companion a person could ask for.  Happy 30th Jamie!!
