A tank of gas

This morning started in Beulah, near Traverse City, where I said goodbye to Mike until this weekend. By lunch I was in Big Rapids, packing up the last of my things I wanted to take home over Christmas break. At two o'clock sharp I was pulling in to my old apartment complex in Kalamazoo, where Mike and I shared a two bedroom the year before pharmacy school began, and where he lived for a second year last year. There, Ralph and Carol (the apartment managers) offered me a super-sweet deal on a studio, which I will talk more about later, and knocked off half of my security deposit cost. Because they love me, and I'm clean, quiet, and pay my rent on time. In light of all this, my third year of pharmacy school may very well take place in the same place it all began!

At 3:30 Shruti called me, and wonderful Shruti-hangings ensued for the remainder of the evening. I took her out to dinner, we exchanged gifts, and went shopping for a few hours. I wish I could've spent days more with her, because we don't get to see one another nearly as much as we'd like, but I had a blast and I hope I gave her a nice birthday. :)

At ten o'clock I left Kalamazoo to head back home to Mt. Morris, and got here just after midnight. My car is tired, I'm tired, and the Parents want me out of bed early to go shopping. *whew* What a day!
