Back Home Again in Indiana
I'm not sure why the little "content" smiley guy has no eyes...or is wearing sunglasses...or is trying to be Ray Charles...but I'll go with it. So let's pick this up where I left off. Tuesday night I left my accounting meeting early to attend the ever important event of getting my football tickets. Corner Blitz is gonna be awesome this year. Be sure to catch all of the State games on TV for a chance to get a glimps of me, Megan, Megan, Jenna, and Ash rockin out the stadium in our cool shirts and hats. I'm pumped. Too bad our team is gonna suck, but what can you do, it's a "rebuilding year." Anyway, what did I do yesterday? Oh, my journalism prof decided that we were already gonna write in her class. Don't worry, though, it was "a little review for all of the seniors. Sophomores, just do the best you can." I think I mentioned before that I was the only sophomore? Yeah, so I probably failed that one considering I had no clue what I was doing. I did get to say that the Cubs won the World Series two years in a row and that I was a big fan of curling, so all was not lost. Just my GPA. And my scholarship. And my chances of ever getting into a good PR firm. I hate not doing well. Bah. Next on the list of mention-worthy events: I went to this psych meeting that my professor from last year (Dr. Carr) asked me to come to, and apparently I am gonna work in a lab with all of these really smart grad students who actually know what they're talking about. By work, I mean not getting paid at all. Who knows why I want to participate, cept the work is really interesting and it hasn't ever been looked into before. I dunno, I am really excited about it, but you should probably just talk to me about it in person so that you can tell me to stop when I get really boring and overly hyped up about it. It's too hard to type the kind of research we are doing. Also yesterday Megan and I went to the college Dems meeting. It was interesting, and the senator who spoke was great, except he had that "anyone but Bush" attitude that I hate. I mean, if you aren't gonna educated yourself enough on the issues so that you can at least back up why you are voting the way you are, then don't even bother voting. I hate people who don't give a shit enough to at least pay attention to who is/might be leading this country and what they stand for. Americans make me want to cry. Moving on, today I went to class, then Theresa and I road tripped it south. The car ride was nice, we just chatted the whole time and it didn't seem like a long ride at all. She's going home to her sister's wedding which will hopefully be a good time; weddings are great. I suppose since I've been home more than 3 hours you can all guess where I've been and who I've been with. I was, of course, over at the Pappas household watching movies and getting fed since my parentals abandoned me in order to go sailing (lame). Anyway, they crack me up over there. Sometimes I think Stephen gets upset that I am perfectly happy just hanging out with Lindsey and his mom. Infact, he did go off and pout when the three of us ganged up on him about school. Oh well, it happens. Seeing the boy again made me realize just how hard being away at school is gonna be, but just how great it will be to have someone to come home to. Today, for example, we were just cuddling and neither of us could stop smiling, it was one of the best feelings I've ever had. I don't think I've ever been that kind of happy before. I dunno, I am just all giddy and in love and it's quite a pathetic display, but I'm not too worried about it. On that note, i'm going to bed, tomorrow will be the first time I'll be able to sleep in since a week before I left for school. I plan to abuse that as much as I can. Night all, sweet dreams.
