Have been out, will be out.
music: "Abide With Me Tis Eventide"
mood:
strangely excited
So ... at one point, I thought that spending 40 hours in a car over the course of 3 1/2 days seemed like a really good idea ... now, I'm just waiting for Brandon and Whitney to show up ... and it doesn't seem like as good of an idea. And yet, I'm strangely excited!
Mainly for what will be in Tucson ... well, rather WHO will be in Tucson, but you know what? It'll be good regardless! Who cares that it's 6:00 and we're still not on the road and we have to go roughly 8 hours tonight? lol It makes it more of an adventure this way. 
Anyway, it should be a really good trip and bottom line is that I'm excited! And no matter ho awful 40 hours in a car will be ... witnessing Cristina and Alex's marriage will make it all worth it! And even though we'll only be in Tucson for roughly ... well ... probably 6 hours max ... lol ... it will be a great trip! Full of adventure, I'm sure. My life always is.
And even if it isn't, at least we'll have a good story to tell at the end of it all.
In other news, Monday night I'm going to the gym for my free 2 week trial membership (24 hour fitness) and at that point I will talk to them about what they offer as far as short (short ==> 2 months) membership and possibly reduced prices. 
I've worked 3 full days at Rehab Medicine and I've caught on pretty quickly. I still double check a lot of things I do, but that's because it's only been three days of actually being a front desk girl. lol It's fun though. Today was pretty busy, thank heavens! Yesterday afternoon I thought I'd surely die of boredom. lol Next Friday ought to be a treat. 
It's good to be home, but at the same time, it's weird. It was good to leave, but at the same time ... quite bittersweet. I left Linfield on a weird note this year -- feeling quite disconnected from a lot of people, which is never good ... but at the same time, I hardly felt super connected to people all the while I was there this semester. Needless to say, I am still adjusting to Uni life in the States -- which certainly does not mean that I had a horrible spring semester ... it just means that there's a rift between me and some of the people I love most and because there's no difinitive answer as to what caused it (other than 6000 miles), there's really no way to sit down and fix it. We'll see what happens this summer, I guess. It will definitely be good to go back in August with a clean slate and meet people from the beginning! Can't believe I only have 6 months till graduation! Sheesh!! 
What else? Uhh, summer term starts on 19/6 ... so just under 3 weeks of no classes. Then life will be back to hectic. 40 hours/week at work + 7 credits (2 courses) online + Brandon + friends + camping + lake + 4xing sleep + gym (or running, but hopefully gym. lol) = madness. lol It will be good though!! 
Anyhoo, that is all for now. Brandon and Whitney should be here in about 10 minutes.
Loveeeeeee
