One Month!!

I am just a little excited! Other than this trip though, I figured out that I am so very done with summer and quite ready to be back in school. I have been out for less then a month and I am already wishing I was back in class. I think that this will change when I get to Dresden, but for the next month all I want to be doing is going to class. My next semester promises to be very interesting (except for the math class I have to take - which might well kill me).
It is a little embarrassing that I am this ready to be back in school after so short a time. I think it is because I am bored out of my mind just working, and I actually really like going to class and writing papers. sick - I know.

I went to Banff today, which was wicked. The mountains were very beautiful, and we (Emily and I) took a walk down the river that runs through Banff, which was so sweet. I love rivers, they are my favorite! I love being near the ocean so much, but there is just something about a river that makes my heart happy. I am not quite sure what it is though.

I was just reading E.E. Cummings and I re-fell in love with one of his poems. You have to read it out loud to appreciate it.

I not at all surprised at you wanting to go back to school. You have a desire to learn and it needs to be satisfied. That is why you will never be satisfied with a "Starbucks existence."
