Hold Me Like Holy Water

Boy is it chilly here! 60 degrees right now. Brrr. My friend Erin and I were having our usual coffee and magazines date at Barnes & Nobles, but we had to leave early because they had the air conditioning on and it was just toooo cold! Imagine that, especially after this summer...it was too cold! Oy...we just can never be happy.

Today I packed mostly everything I need. I'm quite near ready to go. Which is wonderful. I'm looking forward to heading over to Loras in 1 day! Tomorrow's my last day in Rockford, and I'm very happy for it. I am so excited to move in with my flatmates (that has a nice ring to it, and is endorsed by Elizabeth). Two of the five are already there, and I'm sooo anxious to join them. It is kind of crazy to me, however, that school actually starts in a few days. I feel like I forgot what it's like to be in class every day. Summer was DEFINITELY too long this time. ;)

So the news story of the day is the Asian bigheaded carp (I'm not making that up) that was caught in the Rock River, here in Rockford. Supposedly they can get up to 88 lbs. and are fast multipliers. The craziest thing about them is that they get all stirred up by boat motor noise and jump out of the water. And when I say "jump" I mean jump. These things fly probably 10 feet out of the water, and when they're around 88 lbs, they can knock people out of their boats. Clearly this is a problem that Rockford needs to address!! I can't find a picture worth sharing, so look it up yourself if you really care. They're pretty ugly.

Tomorrow is bonding day with my mom. We're going to shop and hang out and stuff. Should be fun.

One day until Loras!!

Caritas et veritas.
