Spent this week dealing with a heavy emotional bombshell of crap, then had to move everything in the house so painters can come and paint for three days. Parents left for Tahoe too, so I'm in the middle of a crap infested house with the dogs, having to deal with my essay and everything else while hoping the weather holds up so I'm not walking in the rain early in the morning and late at night. BUT the plus side is the house is now all mine, I'm not being dragged out on the town so I get to spend the next couple of days on my own writing for school and RPs. :3

Oh you're going up to Chicago for training? My brother went there, enjoyed it I think. But I hope you're going when it's not a mess up there. And hey, I went to that language institute for a school field trip once, it's pretty fancy, I hope you enjoy the awesome west coast weather! Well, I know you will actually. You should enjoy the DLI very much and savor your time there. If you need any recommendations for SF or the general area, let me know and I'd be happy to help.
