Goals for summer:
Well here I am back in Madison. Normally my updating capabilities suck during this time, mainly due to having to be on a horrible PC to update and having better things to do, however, I have given in yet again. The addiction continues, aren't you all so happy.
It's a strange thing to be back here, but good in ways, and on Monday we leave for Spain! Yeah! Matt and my WI friends are all busy studying their asses off, this school, it's something else man. Impressive. Thus I am here unpacking, etc., doing whatever for the week. Then Spain for two weeks, then start my job! YEAH. I just gotta get it together somehow...
I just finished unpacking/putting all my stuff away. This is a great accomplishment, however, I am sure my family is thrilled to have my crap all over the house once again. That's okay, I think they can deal. So our formal pajama party was a success (of course). Everyone was dressed appropriately and it was definitely a good time. Mary and Diana came which was a highlight to my night! They are so funny. I also had a very intense conversation with AK which is good, as she leaves for Vermont for GOOD (likely) on Thursday. Sad. On Saturday when I hung out with all of them it was also very hard, because I left knowing I won't see AK, Sarah, or Misty until January or so at the earliest. Nor Apt 1 ever again as they are giving it up. Also sad; our first place of non-dorm existence.
I had the most amazing ballet classes on Saturday. Okay, so I was dead from the party, but the first class (my normal one) was so satisfying, then the second class (the one she moved me up to) was so frickin' difficult but that made it inspiring! Everyone was so damn good, it was hard to keep up, and my calves still kill. It was 100% worth it though. I can't wait to go back.
That was hard to leave, too. It was hard to leave everyone, in fact. I didn't even get to say goodbye to Alyssa (my own fault), though I did have an amusing time that afternoon making fun of the 'special' Wild broadcast with Kristin and Scott. Hah.
And happy to be home, in a way, but disconcerting as well. There were a lot of things/people/places that were difficult to leave behind. Can't talk about it, don't want to cry again. But now I'm here, have much to look forward to, and once WI is done with their stupid finals my life may begin to feel normal again. I'm just in some kind of trance.
ACH! Now it's time to (finally!) work out, play on the trampoline, shower, visit Badger, then see Matt, yeah baby. Writing this has thrown me off, hopefully I will avoid updating again for awhile. That in mind, I will be gone May 19-31st I think in SPAIN! so no updates for awhile if that happens (but we all know of my disorder). Sunday my sister Stephie will be here, yeah!, and then Tuesday I'll see my other sister finally! I am very lucky.
Good luck to everyone finishing up. I am out.
