There's No Place Like Home
I'm writing this in the comfort of my own dining room. I've got wires sticking out all over the place, mouse, ipod, internet, plug for the laptop. My phone is flashing purple beside me. (I really hate my cell phone in so many ways. Someone could get a hold of me whenever, and yet no one does.) And for the first time, I'm seriously annoyed with my little ibook. I just lost my whole iTunes library. I have no idea how it happened. It's not a huge loss because I have basically everything on CD already, but I had just spent a whole weekend at Matt and Izzy's importing a lot of their music into my library. I just want to whimper about it. (insert whimpering noises here).
So - I'm home. Back in Logan. Back to normal life, and I'm getting excited to leave. Maybe I would feel differently if it weren't so cold here, or if there weren't an inversion the whole time. Maybe if I didn't feel so out of place, I would want to stay, but... I dunno. Maybe my globe-trotting has just ruined me, and I will never be content again. Maybe I just need to pack up and move every 6 months for the rest of my life. The truth is, though, I hate moving. Well, at least I hate meeting new people. I like seeing new places. I really do like to be on my own, though. I noticed when I was in California just how much of a tendency to take off I really do have. I guess that's good, though, in some ways.
I will probably be moving to Indiana in about 6 months. I was accepted at Purdue with a pretty swell fellowship. My company was also solicited by William and Mary, but I'm only on the waiting list there for a fellowship. The George Washington University declined my offer of attendance. Who wants to go somewhere that forces a "the" on the title anyway. Not me. I'm still waiting to hear from University of Maryland. I thought maybe I would today, but when I checked the mail, nothin'. Well, actually something cool: my two new swab t-shirts. I'm happy about that.
Anyway, I'm still feeling disheartened about my iTunes calamity. I'm attempting to recover by downloading some stuff from The House of Leaf and Lime, and needed to kill a little time. Since I hadn't written for a while, I thought I might as well just type a little something. Now that I have the Internet at home, I will try to write more.
