I'm back at Haverford after a four day stay with Tim at Amherst. My visit can be summed up with one picture:



I joke. We did more than just play Scrabble.

We also watched Arrested Development. I've been sucked in. I know, I'm terrible. I can't help myself. That show is so hilarious though, and I love how you can always quote it in any situation. Goodness, I've only watched about six episodes; what's going to happen when I get through one season. I'll never shut up about it.

So my four days was filled with more than just Scrabble and Arrested Development, but I don't want to bore anyone with details. I had an excellent time though. The house Tim and his friends are living in is freaking awesome. I definitely lived nicely for four days. Heated bathroom tiles are one of those things that sound ridiculously frivoulous and unnecessary but once you've tried it, you know your future house HAS to have it. As well as having four shower heads in one shower. Simply amazing. I had really great food and company, so all in all I can say I was very well taken care of.

And now back to the grind of school. Curses.

Before I left Cali I was so ready to go back to school and get on a schedule. Winter break was dragging on forever and my days were steadily becoming more unproductive. Plus I could tell that my tolerance for my parents' parenting was slowly waning. That sounds terrible, but I don't mean it in a bad way. I know they mean well, and I love them but if I stayed any longer than a month I would've blown a fuse. But now that school's starting tomorrow I realize that I'm not ready to start studying. I think that before when I wanted to start school, I just really wanted to leave California and go back to the East Coast. Heh, I never thought I'd say that. I guess I like this place more than I let on. Visiting friends from back home on this coast also makes me appreciate it here more. I don't know what it is. I think I take it for granted a lot, that I made the decision to come here and do something different that I wanted to do. It's too easy for me to bury myself in my work and just do the "college thing," but when I visit friends from home or when they visit me I realize where I am. This might only make sense to me. It's ok. Bottom line: I came here because I wanted a whole new experience and I guess it's taken me over a year to fully appreciate living on the East Coast.

Anyways, it's good to be back. I'm going to watch Arrested Development now.
