Welcome to Charleston, me

Hey Emily, that's a pretty exciting float trip it sounds like. I'm glad you had a lot of fun. SO- I guess Emily's off the market once again. Congrats, lady... I need to find me one of those.

Cory- are you excited to go back to school??

Diane, I finally went to your house and switched out the 21st b-day presents. I love mine! It's hanging in my room at the present moment, waiting to be filled with pictures I need to look around for. Also, I love the necklaces. Man, you spoil me. You pretty much always have though. Thanks so much! Yours isn't much but I hope you like it. Your mom should be sending it with your cookbooks. If I'd known that I would have mailed it myself!! Hehe.

Thomas, I don't have the internet yet so I'm sorry I haven't continued the notebook. I'm in the newsroom today when I don't need to be to catch up on weekend blogging.

As for me...

I moved into my house on Saturday. Got all set up by Sunday. My parents left Sunday as well. It rained like a bitch this weekend. The house is pretty sweet! I can't wait for people to see it! By the way, the address is:

1718 A 12th St.
Charleston, Ill.
61920

Be sure to put that down somewhere.

The house is great by regular standards, but especially for college students. It looks almost new, and the rent is only $265 a month. Not including all the extras, which we don't have set up yet. Last night we went to Roc's and had a drink, me and my roommate Erin and 2 other newsroom girls, and then some ppl came over. I found wine in a box, mini sized- 3 glasses worth, handheld. Also, we found out approximately how many ppl could actually be inside our house. It's not that big, just nice.

I am going to visit Matt this weekend. I am excited!! I might go Friday and then just keep myself busy at his apt while he's at work on Saturday for a little bit. I saw his ex last night. She didn't want to come over until she was wasted because I was good friends with Matt and she thought I'd be mad at her for what she did. It was ok though, I don't take sides. Or I try not to, but I can't help but feel bad for him, and well she's not bad off. We'll see if he'd better and if anything happens, and I'll keep you updated. Don't get too excited though, that's when nothing happens.
