Things to be excited about

the release of On The Road, because it looks like they did such a good job turning one of my favorite novels into a film

getting a crescent moon tattoo

walking the streets of manhattan with friends (I HOPE) soon.  (picture from a friend who’s there now)

Counterpoint in the fall! The new music festival (ok this one’s a little farther off) in Atlanta this September.  I’ll be camping out with a lot of the same friends from Bonnaroo, plus some more.  Remember our awesome campsite? It’s only going to get better.

moving into a new apartment, starting school and classes I’ll enjoy, friends returning that were gone all summer…………………..

but I don’t want summer to ever end!

Yo from Chicago

I am on spring break this week!!  I went home on Thursday to hang out with my parents.  We ate Mexican food with my brother and watched the Godfather II… I got to see my dog Marley… Mom made my favorite meal and we went to a movie together… I also went to shadow my dad at the hospital (he’s an anesthesiologist) and saw some awesome surgery.  Also we got to see my friend and meet her new baby.  It was really great being home.

Sunday morning I left with some friends at 6:30 for Chicago!  Emily, Kindra and I knit the whole way (and slept).  We are staying with some of Emily’s family.  We got here about 5:00 yesterday.  The trip up was good and last night was so much fun.  We’ll be here ’till Sunday.

Here are some pictures from the trip.
