Old School (nothing profound)

I came home to Florence late last night and I got to spend the day here before leaving for D.C. tomorrow. Today was uneventful but it was really nice to be home. I kind of feel like I'm on vacation and I keep thinking that I need something to study. It's all very strange and my head feels empty when I don't have hundreds of pages of material that I'm supposed to be cramming into my brain.

Tonight there was a traditional Mars Hill spaghetti supper to celebrate the soccer teams going to the state play offs. The spaghetti supper is a tradition that goes back as long as I can remember and because my brother is on the soccer team and my dad is the coach, my whole family went tonight, "Championship Casserole" in tow. Tonight was the first time in a while that I have been back to my high school and been in the cafeteria. I pointed out my old lunch table to my brother and remembered all of the lunches I shared there with my best girlfriends. Now that I think back on it, I don't remember many specific conversations but I do remember how much I enjoyed spending that part of each day talking with my friends. It's odd that we were all brought so much closer that year just by sharing a lunch table. To this day those girls are still some of my closest friends.

After the dinner I wandered out of the cafeteria and into the high school building. It was so nostalgic being there. I could vividly remember walking the halls and the sidewalks just like it was yesterday. These past five years have passed so quickly.

Tomorrow I'm meeting William in Athens and we are flying out of Nashville. We will meet Brad at Union Station tomorrow afternoon! I am so excited! Sunday we get to take a tour of the west wing and on Monday we get to watch the president depart from the White House lawn. Brad's got the hook up.

I'll be back on Tuesday for a few more days of hanging out at home. Summer is so wonderful!!!
