Well, here I am.
This is home. It really is. My parents might not be here, but my family is. It's a fucked up kinda family, with lots of drama, but there's really a lot of love.
Dad and Chris and I set out early on Saturday morning. We stopped in Champaign around noon so that they could meet up with the execs for a really cool little record label that puts out remastered pre-electric records from the turn of the century. I skipped out after some time and went to hang out with Lisa, who is awesome. We got bagels and then walked around campus for a while before my dad found me and we hit the road again. Not too long after we left Champaign we stopped in a small town that has the nation's only hippie memoral. Being the crazy hippies we are, we took photos in front of it, of course.
We got into C-dale at about 5:30 and brought everything into my room. After this we headed out to Longbranch for dinner. Katie met up with me and stole me away for the rest of the night. I saw her new house and we hit Hangar, then decided it was boring and went back to her place to play with her baby hedgehog, Arnold.
Sunday I unpacked and said my goodbyes to Dad. I spent most of the day socializing with my old friends in the hall. Brett came over and we put up posters.
I already had one class today: Film Production 1. My prof seems pretty cool, she's really nice...and my TA is named Brian Wilson, so I've got a good feeling about this class.
I'm heading out to creative writing in about 15 minutes...then film analysis after that.
Tonight, a bunch of us are gonna go see snakes on a motherfuckin' plane. I'm quite looking forward to that.
However, I feel like crap. My system is still pissed off about the upper GI.
3 days until Nashville!
