it's been one week....
one more week til i am back in grinnell. i am actually really excited to get back and into the groove of things. i've even bought 17 out of 19 of my required books. online. amazon. saved about $200. yeah, i am impressed too.
i remember last year how anxious and nervous i was about going. not knowing anybody, wondering if i'd have a nice/cool roommate (which i did), nervous about the workload and grades, adjusting to being on my own, and most of all, missing my friends. i think i did alright. and now i am way psyched to get back there. it reminds me of a cult. no one else can understand the inner workings, but it's members are magnetically drawn to the abyss and loving every minute.... no matter how much they may complain. either way: 1st floor, no stairs, air conditioning, new building, interesting classes, first year boys. all things i am very very excited about! (especially the last one)
i don't know, but i haven't had a "boyfriend", persay, in a llloooonnnngggg time and i feel like it's time to get some "homework" done. that's an inside joke.... sorry. ask me personally if you really want to know.
today i got to wake up at 6:50 and take adam to practice. then i had to go get him at 1pm and go shopping for him with mom. we tried to buy him school clothes. honestly. but he just doesn't get it. stripes are not "dorky" and shirts bearing the names of bands you don't listen to or cars from the 70's are not that cool. i don't think he'd let us dress him up nice to save his life....
and then i was taking a walk and the svitaks were outside. today was tylor's birthday. sweet 16. they invited me in for a movie and ice cream cake. well you can't say no to ice cream cake! so we watched "canadian bacon". a witty satire that correlated very closely, scarily close, to today's politics and national issues. and this movie was made in the mid 90's. creepy.
tomorrow i have to take adam to freshman orientation. then there's some "mandatory parent and student meeting" but i don't think mom is making me go. and then he has football practice. gosh i can't wait.... *hint of sarcasm*
well that's it. someone call me if you want to do something, or even just chill in front of the tv? before i leave. cuz i won't be back again til homecoming weekend i think.
