I was planning on writing long, thoughtful posts for each day of my trip, as I got closer to my destination, farther from all things familiar...clearly that didn't happen. Instead I've gotten crankier, sorer, and more frustrated, and decided that I didn't need to share that with the inter-world. So instead I just bitch to Dave about it every night on the phone. Lucky man.
The last couple days I've felt like I'm "almost there" every day, which ends up being frustrating when the next day I'm not actually there. But this is what I planned, and all of the stops have been both necessary and delightful. I'm just impatient at this point, in that "put me in, coach" kind of way. But I can officially say that in 24 hours I will be less than 24 hours from the start of school, and I can't wait.
I can't wait to unpack the car and put stuff in drawers. I can't wait to stop spending 6-8 hours in the car every day. I can't wait to see where I'm living, meet my housemates, and start classes. I can't wait to meet my dog. My loyal readers (all 2 of you) probably feel the same way: "please, give the poor woman something interesting to write about!"
OK, off to shampoo my aunt's hair, which is a topic for a whole other blog. Maybe next time.

Ooo, I get the honor of being your first comment! A blog is a great idea to keep in touch with people. Also it will be a good journal to look back on your experiences, written as they're happening. I put your blog in my google reader, so I will be following along! I hope the rest of the traveling goes well - hang in there.
yay, my very first comment! Lauren, go to the head of the class. Everyone else, be more like Lauren! :)
