 sooooo glad to be home. the last week has been absolutely crazy. here's a break down starting last thursday...
thursday - drove to sheila's to get my hair done. then drove to columbus
friday - hung out with mike. went to the columbus zoo. saw step brothers. quite funny.
saturday - picked up alan and drove from columbus back to my house. had a party with some friends. lots of drinking. 
sunday - made pancakes. got my crap around. drove with alan to dearborn to see sandy. didn't make it in time for the baseball game. tried to go to greektown. failed. but did drive around completely lost in detroit (unrelatedly enough, the name of one of the 1st porns i ever watched...good story) for an hour trying to find it. before deciding just to go to plymouth for dinner. got to see phill briefly. very nice. went and saw tropic thunder. also quite funny.
monday - drove to lansing. went to the mall. met up with ox. saw pineapple express. i had already 'seent' it. but it was AWESOME the 2nd time. then we met up with bonhoff at his house. proceded to get our drink on. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh man. it was a good night. poor eric. ate the BEST sausage mcmuffin EVER at 3am finally crashed on the floor of eric's room. 
tuesday - didn't feel 100% fabulous when i woke up. stupid alochol. drove home with alan and sandy. chilled. went to the parlour in jackson with alan and sandy and diana. then we went to the cascade falls. which were cool...but not super exciting. drove back to albz. sat next to a lake i've never known the name of and looked at the stars. a good time.
wednesday - drove to dearborn and back to drop sandy off. watched some scrubs and part of walk hard. walked to mcdonalds and back. finally fell asleep around 1:30am.
thursday - woke up at 4:30 am. you do the math kids. that's an awesome 3 hours of sleep. drove to detroit to take alan to the airport. it was sad to see him go. its strange. when we worked together at camp we spent a lot of time together but we didn't talk a whole lot. he was just really quiet and closed off. and i was really spastic. but we had a lot of really good conversations over the course of all of our driving. and now i really miss him. after he went to go through security i drove home. chilled for an hour or so and then drove to sheila's again to hang out while she did diana's hair. and here i am at almost midnight...still running on my three hours of sleep. ugh...i feel crappy.

overall, it was a good week. lots of business which i definately prefer. but there were some definate low points. some severe times of uncomfotability. times of being super irritated. but mostly good...so no worries.

rome is creeping up on me fast. i'm starting to realize as i make plans and see people that these will be the last times i see some of them before i go. and it makes me really sad. i've never been good at saying goodbye. and i don't like it.  iwant all my friends around me all the time. is that so much to ask? haha.

i'm definately excited to go to rome and its coming so fast the excitement is building. but the nervousness is creeping in now. it wasn't there before but its here now. joe kind of put it the best. i'm just nervous about the unknown. which correlates with something alan and i were talking about. comfort zones. i'm definately going out of my comfort zone by doing this. and its scary. knowing your daily routine and knowing what to to expect of your life is nice. its safe. and this is completely new. i don't know what to expect. but i'm not scared. just nervous. i know that i will be fine. i can solve problems and keep a cool head. i just like to have things planned out really well. and i can't plan for what i don't know. and i'm going to miss people. and that makes me nervous too. i like to be able to keep tabs on those i love. and by being so far away i can't help them. i can't keep them safe. i like to make sure my friends and family are always ok. i'm such a worrier.

ah. well. such is life. we do what we must because we can. here's some pictures
