Well, welcome weekend at Taylor is all done now. The dorms opened up yesterday for everyone else. It’s an interesting feeling knowing that Taylor is coming back to life, that the dorms are filling up - and knowing that I’m not there this time.

To them, today is the last day before classes start. To me, it’s just another Monday. Another day when getting up at 6:00 AM was not fun, but where I am in life right now.

In a way though things are just getting started for me here. I have most of the stuff I need on my computer now, and I should be getting the rest of it today. I’m taking my computer down to the lab in a bit and the people there will load up the rest of the stuff I need.

On another note, yesterday was a good day. Karyn, Abby and I went up to the Gibbs house to hang out with the youth group and to see Eric. So I was with friends that I enjoy being with, and it was so much better than sitting around at home doing nothing. I ended up spending most of the time there working with Anne and Eric on cutting boards for the new dining room floor they’re putting in. Apart from being fun, it felt good to be helpful.

And now back to this thing they call “work”.
