Here I am, back to school and all settled in. It feels weirder this year than ever before - there are a few key people missing, I'm not sharing a room, and I'm living away from the apartment buildings where I spent my first three years at college.

All in all though, I can't complain. I'm convinced it's going to be a bearable semester, particularly because I just spent $63.10 on my books for all my classes. That's it! Under 65 dollars! Too cool.

I moved my stuff in on Friday afternoon, which was an exerience. After enduring weeks of 50 and 60 degree weather, Friday was (and no, I can't verify this, but it must be true!) one of the hottest days of the summer. Did I mention I live on the fourth floor, we moved in at 2 PM and there are no elevators?

I spent last weekend in the Cities, which was a real blast. I hadn't been there since May and I wished I could have stayed longer. We went to the great Minnesota gathering on Saturday morning and bowling Saturday evening (mix in some beer and some boys and you've got yourself a good time.) Yesterday Darren picked me up and treated me to yogurt and wings. What a guy!

What's that you say? Buffalo wings aren't good for people on diets? You know nothing
