Oh my!

Hello! How are you today? I hope you are nice and good! I hope today is sunny wherever you are! I hope you give someone a high five today. I am fine and dandy, I suppose. I have been jogging, and doing all sorts of exercises recently. It feels pretty good to be moving, and to have everything feeling moderately strong and nice. Things are going alright, I have an apartment (I think...) for the fall, I think I may be getting a car (I don't expect much, but at least one that runs), and I'm looking for a job. Filed under pretty crappy things is the fact that airfare is so ridiculous lately, and that I have to pay for bringing checked bags with me (what is this, Europe?). Also, insert complaint about the shitty nature of FAFSAs/money/loans/etc here. But! It is sunny out! Today I might go to the state fair and eat a funnel cake! And on Sunday I'm going back to Seattle to see Harper!

I guess last time I wrote, I hadn't gone to Seattle the first time yet. Well! It turned out to be quite the trip! Harper was flying out a few days before me, and was coincidentally flying through Chicago. He ran into bad weather, and suddenly next thing I know, he magically switches his Chicago-Seattle flight to be on the same one as me, gets a rental car, and is driving to my house!!! He got in super late, but in enough time for us to hang with Dan and Claire and eat some tasty Steak n' Shake. The next day we ate french toast on my deck, sat in the sun, and then headed for Chicago. And the morning after that we flew to Seattle!

The trip was more hectic than I would've liked, since he had to furnish his apartment and all sorts of nonsense like that. But it was okay, I saw the space needle, we went on a 2 hour boat cruise around all the water around Seattle, and generally had a good time. We spent way too long at Ikea, ate loads of tasty food, and saw the best fireworks of my life on some harbour. It was pretty sweet.





Since I got back, I've gone to a Bastille Day party, seen some awesome movies (Mamma Mia! And the new Batman!!), and had some generally good times. I didn't intend to go back to Seattle this summer, but Harper asked, so I'm going! I'm excited. He'll be working pretty much all day, so it'll be slightly boring, but oh well.

Okay that is enough updates for now!
