a new chapter

so my time with alliswan here is nearly done. yesterday we saw "million dollar baby", which was incredibly fantastic, had dinner with ben and colleen, and then saw "the barber of seville" at the local theater/operahouse... it was a quality day. :-)

this morning, i've already been doing laundry and such and packing for a trip of my own.

in an hour, i'll drop alliwan off at the train station on my way to church, so that she can head home for a week of classes herself, and after church, i'm finishing up getting set for a trip of my own.

the plot:

today:
drive to wilmington, delaware, crash at jessica warnier's place there... apparently there's a potluck dinner party there tonight, so i'll be meeting lots of people :-P

tomorrow:
from jessica's head south to columbia, south carolina, where i'll head straight to west columbia where my friend sheima lives. we knew each other from freshman year of high school in memphis and then her family moved to virginia before the year was even up. i got to spend a night at their place in richmond on my spring break trip to DC with mom and brother my senior year of HS, but haven't seen her since... since then she's been married for several years now and is still in school in columbia... it'll be fantastic to catch up! anyhow, dinner and crashing at her place

tuesday:
by the time sheima leaves for work, i'll need to be out and about too, so early, while roommate (aka kristin :-P) is in her morning classes, i'll head in to downtown columbia where she goes to school. i'll probably hang out in the union at her school until she's out of class, at which point we'll head down to charleston, south carolina to see nina miller! that'll sum up tuesday :-P

wednesday:
while roommate's in class all day, i'll be lazy/study all day... however i do have breakfast plans with mason (of BSM fame) too, so that'll be fun :-)

thursday:
around and about columbia with roommate

friday:
after breakfast with roommate, i'll head up to greensboro, north carolina to see my cousin heather. originally i was going to spend the night back in SC with her parents on friday, but i haven't heard back from them and apparently my uncle's really sick right now (which i technically don't know, even though i do ;-P), so i'm not going to push it... if i don't hear from them, i'm hoping i'll get things straight to spend the night with my friend carli (of valpo fame) in maryland... if not, friday will be a long day of driving; if one or the other works out, i'll be back to jersey saturday :-P

so how's that for a crazy week? ;-)

time to a move on here... later dudes! :-P
