Back from Bradford

This weekend was...good. The play was really good, and Hilary was great in it. Everyone in it was pretty great, really. I enjoyed it. Of course, it was hard being there without Savannah, because I connect Bradford Theater to her--if she wasn't in it, she's the one I went with. So I got all teary because I missed her and I went and called her and we were both crying because we missed each other. There are a lot of things that I miss about school. And it was strange because last year I belonged there. It was home and I was a part of it. But now that's over and it's not all that easy to just let go of. I haven't quite found my place here yet. I do have a great apartment with my great boyfriend across the hall from my great friends, and I am going to a great school with great people. But it's not the same yet. Of course, I was flat out miserable for at least the first half of freshman year, so I guess these things just take time. And at least now I'm not totally starting out from scratch.

We met Ben's friend Dan this weekend because he went with us. He's cool. We got in really late on Friday, stopped by Perkins to say hi to Hilary, who threw herself at is in a crazy ball of happy Hilary, which really made me feel welcome. Then we sat and talked for a while, then Paul and I went back to our hotel. In the morning we were up before everyone else so we walked to the bank and then were almost to campus when Ben drove out and picked us up. Then we went to lunch at Arby's with Dan, Hilary, and Ben. Then we went back to our hotel room and played Apples to Apples which Ben bought at the gaming store. It was very cool. Is a great game. And I won. ^_^ Then Hilary's family showed up and everyone else went to the Mexican restaurant but Paul didn't want to go for food yet so we hung out in the hotel then Ben took us to Burger King then we went to the show and I enjoyed it then had my little meltdown on the phone outside with Savannah. Which was embarassing, because even though I didn't actually cry much my face was still a total mess. Ugh.

We went to the cast party because I wanted to talk to Adam. Which I did, and I'm glad of it. We ended up dragging Paul out and we talked about gaming and stuff till Ben drove us back to our hotel. Then, in the morning Lance came and took me and Paul to Pizza Hut because Ben and Dan were still sleeping, but they showed up at the restaurant eventually. Lunch was good, I was happy to see Lance again, even if he was tired because he'd been up late at a wedding the night before.

On the drive back Ben listened to the Steeler game and I'd never listened to sports on the radio before and it's sort of weird. I tried to read but the road was just bit windy and my tummy didn't support the idea. So I listened to the game and looked out the window. I was pretty shocked when they pulled it out in the end. I thought it was over after that punt return. Ben was happy. Of course he couldn't shout about it because he was already hoarse from the Pitt game. Crazy football fans. ^_^
