But I've basically had zero access to the computer these past two weeks, having spent some luxurious time in Massachusetts and here in Ithaca at my roommate's house for crew camp. Let's recap, shall we?
In MA everyone was kind of in and out except Claire and me, so we spent a lot of time crashed in front of the fire being happy we had no work to do. Claire's lounging was disrupted when we switched out an old couch for a part of a sectional we're getting. This caused significant dismay and the sectional piece was quickly labeled "the couch stump."
In the time we WERE all together, I remembered why I'm going to miss being with them all so darn much. They're hilarious.
On Monday we made the epic journey from MA to Albany to Ithaca, where Claire and I were dropped off for crew camp. It has been so much fun to put my favorite people all together in Ithaca. It's like my real family and Ithaca family merged, and it's made me SO happy. I haven't laughed this much and this hard in a long time.
And now, here I am on Friday morning, the only one awake. Luckily this led me to discover I could get internet on my computer. So now I'm sitting at the table with two huge dogs warming my feet. It's kind of nice.
Claire's leaving today, which I basically hate. That's what's tough about college. You're ALWAYS missing someone. Always.
On a somewhat relate note, today is my dad's birthday!
Let's just say I'm lucky, because I have the best dad in the world. He may not like our choices in fleece color, but he always supports Claire and me. He gives the best hugs ever and can make you feel better no matter what. What I admire Dad for is that he knows who he is. And by being who he is he helps other people figure it out. He's rational and compassionate, driven and a team player. And sometimes he is really, really silly. I love you, Dad. Happy Birthday.
