Well, I'm back in New England.

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Not at school yet, but I’m at my Aunt and Uncle’s house until the semester starts.

I miss my girl. :frowning: It’s the start of another grind of time where we can’t see each other. Sigh. We made it through the worst one, though, and we’ll make it for this one.

I went ice skating the other day. I haven’t been for years. My feet are still killing me.

The new semester starts on the 4th. I’m taking a bio course called Dinosaurs, a socilinguistics class, and some religion course. Should be interesting. It’s funny- I’ve started to think of my dorm room as home, in a lot of ways. Other than feeling at home with quietgirl, I felt like I was a visitor- like the room I’ve slept in most of my life wasn’t really my room. Does anyone else ever feel like that?

So, as I haven’t had access to the computer for some days now… did I miss anything interesting?

Say hi to Unc and Aunty for me.

Same old same old around here.

Your present arrived at your student housing. It’s probably been stolen by now. :frowning:

But on the plus side - I think Jen’s is at your parent’s house.

Oh yeah. I melted down in the Pit.

I adopted Arden_Ranger as a newbie (and Britt on probation as an adopted newbie).

Uhhh…not much else.

When I was going to boarding school I started to refer to it as home. I was there seven months out of the year for four years. Ucky.

“So, as I haven’t had access to the computer for some days now… did I miss anything interesting?”

Oh, just the usual wild orgies and an infestation of trolls in #straightdope.

All the time. Coming home on the occasional break last year was strange, and this year it’s even stranger. (The best part was when I was told at the Canadian border this summer that I’m now a Canadian resident (because I was there for 8 months straight). Very strange!) As they say, “Home is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live there.”

Best of luck to you and quietgirl! My girlfriend and I did the long distance thing for one year away, but I called it off this year. (Long story, not a happy one.) I still wish it didn’t have to be this way … sigh. I hope it works out for you guys. :slight_smile:

Nah, don’t worry, Una. It’s a regular post office- no chance of theft. I’m looking forward to getting it. :smiley:

Adopt a newbie? Ooohers… sounds so tempting. <wanders over to thread>

I guess this means no fake kiss NYE with you, andygirl:wink:

9

iampunha…had I the choice, none of the kisses you received would be fake. :wink:

10

Too bad you had to go back so early, andygirl! We’ll miss you at Falcon’s on NYE. :frowning:

11

Here’s hoping you find yourself in VA soon.

I still wonder why andygirl wanted to “kiss” me.
