No sleeping for me tonight. I was really tired so I went to sleep at 9:30 only to wake up at 1. Now, I can't go back to sleep. I suppose some good came of it because I was able to work on things but still. I think it's just that I do have so much to do in the next couple weeks that I am already getting anxious. Hopefully my post-it note lists will help.

Moving

Whew. After driving over 1000 miles I made it to Iowa City. It is basically the same as I left it. A few businesses came or went (Chipotle is here!) and the IMU is finished I think. But it's still Iowa City. Our house on SoJo is nice. I have the attic which is good because I have a lot of space but it gets a little warm and I feel a little bit isolated. Oh well. I like it all and soon we will all be settled in here for the year.
I stopped at Miami University in Ohio to see Galen and that place is nice. I was a little bit jealous of him. I am just going to have to visit there again.
Now I have to continue shoving piles of things around my room and go grocery shopping and take a shower.

Summer Wrap Up

So you probably don't know exactly what I was up to all summer but you should know that it was glorious. I love The Netherlands. And Dutch people and bikes and fried foods. I do not like biking after eating fried food though. Anyway, in a day or two I will begin the drive back to Iowa City. I've been gone for about nine months now which is weird. I feel like everything has changed but also hasn't changed. We'll see if I still have any friends left. I know Christina is my friend because we hung out in Amsterdam which was great. I do get to move into our house! and plan exciting tailgates. I fear I may have already over committed myself this year but I suppose I could drop Self Defense or something. But I probably won't. I have a lot of thinking and planning to do these days. One year isn't so long and soon I will have graduated. Can a move to The Netherlands really happen? I want it to but there are a lot of factors to consider, not the least of which is financial. I am so very close to being an adult in the real world and yet I feel woefully ill prepared. I suppose now is not the time to stress out about the unknown. After all, there are so many other things that need to be done before the spring. Like driving 1000 miles. I am excited about that. I plan on listening to music very loudly and singing along. Hopefully I won't get lost. I probably won't. So there it is. See some of you in less than a week. Others, I will call you or you should call me. Or email...whatever you prefer.
