An epic bridge from an epic voyage

Well, I'm back from vacation and the first thing I notice as I walk up to the dorm is that I've forgotten two important things: 1. My student ID which also serves as a key card to get into buildings and 2. my keys which let me into my room. If I hadnt happened to travel up with Taylor I would have been screwed over royally.

On that note I settled down to getting my stuff out of the car and I dropped the tote bag with my books in it into the slushy muddy mess that lines our road.
Following a quick string of expletives I grabbed them and noticed that -- joy of joys -- the ones to land in the sludge were the ones I had most recently purchased. A copy of Toothpaste for Dinner, I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel by Susanna Clarke. Oh and a library book.

This realization resulted in more unseemly language.

But after some damage control things didnt turn out that badly, I was able to get most of the stuff off, the Toothpaste for Dinner book sustained the only noticable staining. My id and keys are being express mailed to me so things might yet go my way. Also, obsessive listening to New Radicals and Collective Soul - Disciplined Breakdown is an EXCELLENT album, have helped as well.

I had an eventful vacation to say the least, the first day was spent traveling down and interviewing my grandparents about what the education system was like when they were in it, that night on returning home I went with my sister to hang out with some friends of hers from work that I knew vaguely. What followed was card games and jagerbombs and a lengthly discussion of music with one guy that was awesome. I got very little sleep of course and ended up crashing for a long time when I got home. Next came the 6 hour (though fun) trip to Jessicas, meeting with many interesting people and coming back for six hours, getting lost in Troy in the process. Right after that myself and Katie journeyed out and saw Leah for the day at her school. There was a massive library and some delicious tofu, broccoli peanut thing was served. The journey back was compartivly short. The next day I went to see my cousins play - she goes to a Waldorff school and it was a circus thing. Seriously those kids can juggle. I was amused and then we went to Borders where I bought some books that were soon to be dropped into slush

That is a rapid and rough sketch of what I did...I'll elaborate later I think. I took some random pictures that could be amusing.
