Ahhh!!!
So sorry I didn't say more about Illinois. All you need to know is that it was a great experience.
With that out of the way I should tell you about....VALENTINE'S DAY!!! Ahh! It was the bestest ever! Seth is this adorable boy that I've had a crush on since the first day that I saw him in my sociology class. I prayed for him to be in my group and lo and behold....HE WAS! So we actually got kind of close during class or whatever. We'd be the only ones talking la da daaaa da da daa da da daa....and we just got along great. Earlier this day (being Valentine's) I walked with him out to his car and he gave me a ride to mine and I was grinning from ear to ear all the way home. He told me something about having martial arts later that night. So...I had his number because of the project. And around 6:30 I sent him a text message saying, "How was martial arts Mr. Martial Artist?" and he CALLED ME BACK laughing. He said that he hadn't gone yet but was on his way with his freind Chris and I was welcome to come along and watch. As soon as I got off the phone I ran around the house going "OMG OMG OMG he called meeeeeeeeeeee!" I've never been so giddy. So I WENT. I watched him kick some ass, and then we all went to Perkin's. Chris, Seth, and I sat there for about 2 and a half hours just talking and WOWZA do we have a lot in common. It was sooooooo great. Chris I guess had some "prior arrangements" so we dropped him off and Seth and I went back to his house to watch movies. So...we put in Willow, Seth took a shower and came back in shorts and a cut off t-shirt and GLASSES...god is he cute with glasses on but anyway. We watched the rest of the movie and ended up kissing....god is he a good kisser too....wow................yeah I'm still stunned. And yes, slept on the couch. AHHHHHHHH I have such a crush. It's crazy. Jenna doesn't get "crushes". I'm a loser. I love it.
He called me earlier today. I'm not going to get to see him again until Monday (which he sounded generally annoyed with...yay!) because of work and school and such, but ahhhh. I love this. Mmmmmm. Goodnight.
