Well, my week down the shore was quite the treat. The last few days got cloudy before I could get any sun, but that's okay. At least I was on the beach. We cut the vacation a day short and left Friday evening after hitting the boardwalk and getting some Mack's pizza in Ocean City.
I spent Saturday watching a Katharine Hepburn marathon on TCM with my mom. Other than that, I didn't do much. My dad made steaks for dinner. This morning I woke up late and went for a bike ride with my dad. It quickly became obvious that I hadn't been on my bike in a year, my elbows hurt and I am tiiiired. After that, I showered and packed up. My mom surprised me with a Roxy hoody that I saw in Ocean City. It's lined with faux sheepskin, so it will definitely keep me warm as things get colder Nederland (well, it's already cold as it is up there).
When I get back tonight I get to look forward to taking the DIA bus to Denver and then getting my suitcase onto the Light Rail and hopefully getting a taxi for the two miles up to campus. I won't be in the mood to climb that hill at 9:30 at night.
That's really all. It was good to be home. I love being there, I can't wait to get back. I really can't imagine living anywhere else, despite all the places I have now lived (and by "all" I mean ... ooooh ... three or four other places, temporarily). I miss a lot about PA ... the crickets at night in the summer, the way everything smells, being right in the middle of rural and urban Greater Philly. Well, I've got two months left of AmeriCorps and then I get to spend plenty of time appreciating home while trying to find a job.
