Three days. 1,800 miles. Five states. Three weary travellers in a new and unfamiliar state. One silver car splattered with bugs. Wow.
So now I'm here, moved in to my new 'home' for this academic year. If you want my mailing address, just let me know via email. I'd love to start collecting more postcards and such. And by such I mean cookies. Yes, you know who you are. And by moved in, I mean all my stuff is in my dorm room here in MN. Very few things are actually unpacked, but at least everything is in the room.
To supplement what the room already offers, the parentals and I went to Target and Ikea today. Correction, we went to SUPER Target (even more crowded and insane than normal Target). And we went through IKEA in under 15 minutes, from Dad dropping Mom and I at the door to getting back into the car. And yes, we even made a purchase! A nice carpet to help muffle the tile floors in my room.
Hmm, my neighbor across the hall just walked by in flip-flops and boxer-briefs. Glad someone feels at home...
As near as I can tell, there are four of us living here on the men's floor in this building. I haven't met the other two yet, but I'm sure I will. We've got time.
Okay, it's off to sleep for me. Yet another night in an unfamiliar place and an unfamiliar mattress. But hey, it's 'home' for now.
Miss you. Peace.

Ikea in 15 minutes. Wow. As if traveling 1800 miles in 3 days wasn't impressive enough.
