omaha...somewhere in middle america

yes, back to omaha. normalcy...at least to some extent. i flew in yesterday morning (after almost not getting my bags checked) and got back to the dorms around one. i spent the afternoon unpacking and getting distracted by people coming back at random intervals and by stupid things with liz and kels. overall, it is good to be back. i have the same sort of tinges of homesickness as i did when i got here for first semester, but in a much different way i think. i'm not sure that will make sense to most people since it is somewhat contradictory, but it makes sense to me at least.
i am looking forward to my classes. albeit, a little less than i was a few days ago when i didn't know how much i would end up paying for books. it wasn't that bad money-wise, but i like to complain...so i will. especially since i bought the wrong book online for $30 and ended up having to buy the correct book brand new from the bookstore for $105. grr. oh well. i am still looking forward to classes though, especially government and world lit. i will probably end up disliking them in a few short days, but that's life, i suppose.
i am also really looking forward to the time i will get to spend out of class and work in the lab with my friends. i can't wait for all the laughs me, nicole, kels, and liz will have here in the dorms, the fun we'll have at crew practices, dinners, and regattas; and hopefully spending time with brian, whatever it is that ends up happening.
i plan to spend the rest of the afternoon being lazy for the last day before classes (government/politics tomorrow morning at 9:30...eek), yay.
