Also, I have some thank yous to dole out:

Thank you to Melanie, Julia, Liz, and Laura for your lovely phone message you left at 4 am in the morning. I seriously cannot wait to come home now.. gah, I miss you all so much!

Thank you to Jeff and Tillie for their letters, which shall be answered as promptly as I can manage.

Thank you to Suzanne for the bag of kettlecorn which I cannot stop eating now. Seriously. Someone needs to rip it out of my hands before I eat the plastic bag containing the kettlecorn and stuff it all in my face.

Thank you. That is all.
