OKAY. Time for a post! First of all, I'm fine, my skin has basically spent the past few weeks freaking about and I wasn't sure what was going on, but it was getting pretty unbearable. I got it looked at and its just a form of eczema [triggered by stress, possibly...but what stress could that have been recently?] and easily treatable. Its much improved, thanks for the worries.
So then. Other things. My mom's visit was amazing, it was so great to have her here and show her around. I had an amazing birthday -- thanks for the wishes, and Amanda, your pictures are hanging all over the wall now! My mom even took all of us out to see the new Wes Anderson movie, The Darjeeling Limited, and made it through the whole thing. It was very edgy of her. Last night we had a gigantic birthday celebration deemed "October Fest", since about five of us here have birthdays this month. It was a lot of singing and I met some new people, some surprising stories came out of it. I watched every single Indians game at the dive bar 30 seconds away and I'll save those stories for later, they have been sort of movie-esque. I had a really amazing surprise this weekend too, Annie stopped in Chicago for literally three hours on her way back from a week in Wisconsin, I didn't think I would see her for at least another few months, so that was incredible. I HAVE SO MANY STORIES but I am sick and sleepy so I'm just going to have to save them. HOWEVER, I think of you girls so often. Amanda, I hope that Texas is feeling a little better, keep us updated. And Sarah, GET YOURSELF TO CHICAGO.
Ahem. The end!
