northern journey It felt good to be on the road. I knew that I had a nearly five hour drive ahead of me, but I didn't care. I just wanted to be free of Milwaukee for a few days. I wanted to escape from everything that has been bothering me and not have to think about anything. I knew that I could do that by going north to visit my grandma. Unfortunately I didn't have much to look at out the window, because Wisconsin still looks like dirt at this time of year with brown being the dominant color of the landscape. Despite the dismal scenery it was a nice drive and the further north I went, the more relaxed I felt. I even decided to stop off at my old college and spoke with two of my former professors. We talked about who was doing what and where and then went our separate ways again. Then I started to think about the last time I was at my college and who I was with at the time and all of it seemed like a long time ago. Those were some good times for me, but now they are just memories. She had made me laugh and she had made me cry, but I am still here. The last time that I tried to contact her, I found out that she was married.
