Long Day

Today was an extremely long day.

Up at 8:00 a.m. after not getting that much sleep and the first thing I had to do was go out in the cold to pack my car. Thankfully Michael was around to help out or it would have taken much longer than it did. But thanks to him and his super packing abilities everything was in the car and ready to go by about 9:30. Then mom made us breakfast and we just puttered around for a little while. I knew I had to get going but I really wasn’t looking forward to the goodbyes.

I always hate saying goodbye to Mike because I’m still so used to seeing him every single day. Even though he spent most of winter break at my house (out of the 24 days I was home he was probably there for 3/4 of it) it wasn’t enough time. On January 18th we’ll have been together for 7 years and every time I remember that it about blows my mind. But it’s a good thing, and now that I’m back down here I’m going to miss him so much.

I left home around 11 and pulled into the condo about 2. It’s a three-hour trip, if there’s no traffic, so I made good time today. Walked inside to find out that it was 52 degrees (or below, since the thermostat doesn’t read below 52 so I have no way of knowing how cold it was) inside. Our furnace was broken… again. Called our Residential Life coordinator and she got the maintenance guy to come out for emergency repairs. He left and assured us that the heat would come on soon.

Meanwhile I was still freezing and needed to get out of the house so Kyle and I went to see a movie. We were going to go see Avatar but traffic made us late so we ended up going to see Youth in Revolt instead (extremely funny movie by the way). When we got back from the movies the condo was warm and I was happy. Kyle hung out a little longer before heading home and I finished up cleaning my room.

Now I’m going to go to bed because I’m exhausted and I’ve got class at 8 a.m.
