it's good to sleep in my own bed...

the past week was fun, but i was certainly glad to be home...

the business trip to ohio turned out to be interesting... i learned a lot about UPS systems (not the big brown truck company) and learned a lot about how to be a client... i was wined and dined like i couldn't believe... the meals were amazing... i even tried calamari and raw tuna... and i liked both! we also found a tavern that sold lots of british beers! so i got to have a hobgoblin and even a chocolate stout! too bad they didn't have ciders, though... but as much fun as the trip was, i was kind of glad it was over... i needed some down time...

but since i was on my way to terre haute for the weekend, i couldn't have down time just yet... friday evening was the young alumni party, and it wasn't all that great... i stayed for about 30 minutes and left wondering why i had even bothered to go back to homecoming this year... but after the pep rally and bonfire, things started to look up... i went out with some of my sisters and we had a great time! sanka's now has Strongbow on tap!!! and ambrosini's has karaoke (which was a blast)!!!

Saturday morning, chris's mom met me and we walked the Rosie 5k!!! it was nice to get some exercise, but i could have done without the march through the wet grass and sand... that afternoon was the game... i didn't watch any of it, though... i mingled around the Tri Delta tent and caught up with people i hadn't seen in years... after the mingling, i met some of chris's family for dinner... i had just seen them in may, but it was nice seeing them again... after dinner, chris's mom and i walked around the mall and then went to the local starbucks... we had a good time just talking... later that night i was super tired... but chris persuaded me to go hang out with my sisters some more... so i went, and had a pretty good time... but i was super glad when they decided to call it a night...

while i had fun at homecoming... i think i'll be okay not going back for another few years... not much had changed with the school... and the people that i wanted to see either weren't there or i keep up with them anyway... but who knows... maybe i'll decide to go again next year...
