updating at four Friday night into Saturday morning at work went really well. It started out slowly and I got some music research done on both Vanessa Carlton and Kasey Chambers. Then when I got back from my lunch break a T3 outage in southern Wisconsin made the rest of the morning fly by for me. The only sad part of the night was the fact that Nicole was home sick. She called into work as is required when a person is sick and she sounded miserable if not tired and I missed not being able to talk with her. I guess putting it another way, the good mood from Friday carried over into today and I hope that it lasts through my weekend. ... Friday night Saturday morning, I brought the photos from my first trip to Europe to show someone at work. Looking at them again for the first time in months made me that much more eager to go back. Even though it was two years ago so many details surfaced just by looking at the photos. I truly felt alive when I was in Europe. Each day was an adventure. Yes, I know that that sounds like a cliche, but it was fun even on the days when I was completely wore out by the end. At the time it was something completely new for me and I was so glad that it had finally happened. Other people go to Europe in their early twenties, but I didn't. Instead I graduated from college and ended up playing house two times before I was thirty. That kind of life didn't leave me much time for seeing the world. Maybe that sounds more bitter than I intended. ... This afternoon I dreamt that I was back at the house where I spent my final years of college. The house hadn't changed at all, but then why should it have in a dream? Only one of my roommates was there and happened to be one that I hadn't spoken with in probably a year. The dream itself wasn't surprising. More than one of my college friends has had big changes in his or her life. One friend now is a father for a second time. Another friend separated from her husband. California Dan quit his job and feels free. As for me I think that things are going to start changing soon. I have my midterm this coming Thursday and from there I imagine that the rest of the semester will just fly by. Then I'll be in Europe for the second time in my life. After that is done everything else is unknown at the moment and that might be a good thing.
