Awesomeness

The past couple of days, Thursday and Friday, have been totally awesome. On Thursday I got to eat dinner with Candace and Abbi (At Big Bob Gibson's, a well-known and loved establishment here, which I'd never been to before. Apparently, once you're in college, the broadening of the horizons does not stop when you come home.) and then we went to the mall and got cookies, and, for the very first time ever, I went into The Gap. Yes people, I had never been in The Gap before. They have pretty nice clothes, some of the time. = ) Too bad it's expensive. I think I'm more of an outlet person myself. So that was awesomely fun. Candace and Abbi, I want to take both of you back to college with me! = )

Yesterday was fun too. In addition to running around Decatur like a chicken with my head cut off, picking up ten+ applications for summer jobs, I finished off an anthropology essay and read some books. I got bored in the evening, and so Dad started me looking through our old LPs. Lately he's been recording them onto CDs via some process with lots of complicated wires and computer software. As you can tell, I don't understand more than the very basics of it. But it's cool. So.... we got started sampling the LPs, and ended up listening to music until past midnight - when Mom got home from work. If (earlier in my life) anyone would have predicted that I'd be up till midnight listening to 60s, 70s, and 80s music, and yes, enjoying it immensely, I'd have thought they were insane. It'll be cool when I'm home for the summer and can listen to more of it. And once Dad's got them all on CDs they'll be more accessible to my 'inquiring mind'. So yeah, that was cool. I had lots of bonding time yesterday. I spent three hours bonding with Mom in the car to look for a job, and I spent a couple hours bonding with Dad listening to music. Yay for bonding time!

I'm only semi-ready to come back to school. I'm a bit bored, but I'm not ready to go back to the grind of homework yet. This summer is either going to be great or is going to drive me insane. We'll see. I may be BEGGING to come back in September.

And today we're headed over to my grandparents' house for lunch. Mmmm! Grandma is a great cook! And it'll be cool to spend some time hanging out. I haven't seen Grandma or Grandpa hardly at all this week.

In Conclusion, Spring Break Is Awesomeness. = )
