I moved back in with my parents for a multitude of reasons, namely trying to save money and not have to worry about making rent every month while being in school. It feels weird right now, but I'm hoping that it progressively gets comfortable and ends up being a good idea. I am lucky to have a family like I do.

Less than two weeks until I leave for California. I had all these grandiose plans to rent a car and ride around California; I would rather just lay on the beach every day without my cell phone anywhere near me and read.

Re-reading "A Heartbreaking Work..". Really 'gets me' (I hate that saying) every time, it's such a beautifully crafted novel. No other book that I've read, sans My Antonia, has given me the same feeling after finishing it.
