My Spring Break ended about an hour ago when I got back to Manhattan to work a shift. It never seems long enough, but for once I got a ton of stuff done. Here’s the rundown.
Started off with a 4 hour drive to Albion to see Amber’s parents. Left for Madison (and a 10 hour drive) early Sunday morning, got in Sunday night. Spent 2 days looking at apartments, picked one out, and signed our lease on the 3rd day (pictures to come later). Ate lunch with a guy who currently works at Epic to learn some more about my job and the Madison area. Spent some time exploring the city, although there’s still plenty to see. Found a nice movie theater near our apartment and saw Hostage. It was pretty good. Kinda twisted, but good. Each opened a checking account so we’ll have somewhere to send our money when we close our current accounts. Found out information on utilities, cable, internet, etc. so we can figure up a budget. Yeah, it was busy. But it will save us a lot of trouble when we go to move at the end of May. Oh yeah, that’s the other thing…they’re letting us move in a week and a half early at no charge!
So Thursday morning we got out of Madison and drove the 11 hours to Andover to see my parents and sister for a few days. Things were a lot more relaxing at home. Saw Miss Congeniality 2; not as good as the original (obviously) but still funny. Amber experimented a little bit and made Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp which was pretty good, and my dad made his first full blown Emeril recipe which was also very good. Then today we celebrated my birthday since it’s next week and I won’t be home until the end of the month. I got a new TV to fit the entertainment center my parents are letting me take to Madison and a Game Cube. I can finally play the games I already own on a system that doesn’t belong to someone else. Woohoo!
Anyway, that’s the abbreviated version of events. There’s lots I left out so if you wanna hear more, just ask.
Currently Playing: Evanescence – Bring Me to Life
I’m so glad to be back in Manhattan with radio that doesn’t suck. Wichita radio has gone to sh*t and Madison apparently loves commercials…
