the surprise was a batch of frozen mudslides. :)

after going to sleep ungodly early last night (i was crashing plus i didn't feel well), i've had a great first full day here. bethy and i spent the afternoon in burlington--how i have missed this city...wandering church street, enjoying the sunshine and feeling completely carefree, wandering into stores (the favorites were the nunzilla--fucking hilarious, shoots sparks out of her mouth, and a trip into crow books), and my much anticipated return to muddy waters. the woodwork, greenery, and relaxing music made me finally feel like i'm officially back at school. and anyone in the area needs to try the muddy shake--a shot of expresso into vanilla ice cream milkshake is heaven in a glass. few things are worth two months' wait, but i promised myself i wouldn't go there until i was back at school and with beth, and it was worth the wait.

it feels so good to be back.
