I'M FINALLY HOME. I got back to Michigan around 6:30 PM last night, (when I should have been home by 2:30 PM) after a trip that can only be described as Planes, Trains & Automobiles-esque. My 8:30 AM train home was inexplicably canceled, so I was put on a bus instead, which didn't come to the train station until nearly three hours later. This disaster added to the fact that the train to Chicago was nearly two hours late, so I didn't get a chance to go into the city at all. But I digress. I did meet a lot of nice people, though.
The trip was pretty fun, although I really didn't do anything exciting. My days were basically spent either babysitting my cousins or shopping. Not a lot of time to myself, which I really wanted, because I wanted to talk to my family but couldn't because it would be too late for them due to the time difference. However, my cousin Maggie (this is her) is an adorable six year old and judging by the things she said to me during the trip, she's well on her way to being a comedienne. AND I bought lots of books, so I have something to do over break!
Haven't watched the Mad Men pilot yet, (no time, plus it was really uncomfortable to watch things on my iPod on the train/bus) but I think I'm going to watch it tonight because there's nothing new for me to watch. Everything's now done for the year and doesn't come back until January. (By the way, Prison Break's fall finale was filled with incredible LULZ and I don't want to wait until spring for the final episodes. I JUST WANT ALL THIS TO BE OVER ALREADY.)
Received first semester grades back; 3.194 GPA overall, which is pretty good, considering I was taking 17 credits and two very hard classes (Stats and Astronomy). But I passed, and now it's on to next semester! And I have to get my transcripts to Grand Valley, because I'm now only a few months away from transferring! It's so exciting.
We're currently watching Dan in Real Life. It's a pretty good movie, and Dad is really enjoying it, which is rare. Although Steve Carell has sometimes said things that sound very Michael Scott-esque, and I laugh.
DAY AFTER TOMORROW IS CHRISTMAS, GUYS. I may not get many presents, but at least there's a ton of snow on the ground! I LOVE IT.
