This weekend was great. I went to Rhode Island on Thursday to spend time with my aunt and other family members/friends. Friday was beautiful so we stayed at the beach all day, sun bathing and playing in the water. That night we went to a restaurant for drinks, listened to a funny guy and his guitar, and I flirted with the cute guy across the bar the whole time... Saturday morning we went to a flea market down the road and bought necklaces. Then it was off to New London to help a friend move into his new apartment. Packing, moving, unpacking and reassembling was zero amounts of fun, but I made some new friends and found another place to escape to if I ever need to. I woke up before everyone this morning and got back to Troy before noon.
I found out this weekend that...
I really like to drive. I guess I never really had the chance while I was at home because my parents are a smidge over-protective and so were all of my friends' parents... But I drove 4.5 hours to Rhode Island by myself, non-stop (except once at the 4-hour mark just to get gas).
Hartford doesn't know how to drive (except Allisahn). I don't consider myself an exceptional driver by any means, but, seriously, Hartford drivers suck pretty bad.
OMG BEACH IS AWESOME NO MATTER WHICH COAST I'M ON. I refuse to live away from the coast after college. I'm over this inland nonsense.
I want to take more trips away from Troy. I've got 3-days weekends, so if you wanna go somewhere, let me know. Troy is a really depressing place to be and everyone's complaining and general bad mood is getting me down. Drama and miserable non-relationships are not worth our time or tears. Let's get the hell out of this place even if it's just for a day or two.
