Journey to Austin

This past Saturday, I woke up at around 5am to drive down to Austin to visit Brooks.  Longest. Drive. Ever. (Except the drive back, which is going to be even *longer*, because I will have no motivation pulling me onwards.  In face, my motivating force will be behind me).

It's been a lovely couplea few days.  I've eaten well, slept well (!!), and haven't worried about a blessed thing, all the while getting to spend inordinate amounts of time with my boyfriend. :)  I enjoyed meeting his friends; they are all people with whom I can get along.  Heck, I even watched Casablanca and The Prestige.  I also got to spend time with my former roommate, Mallory.  She's one of my favourites :)

I am currently spending time in Café Medici, drinking coffee and reading, waiting for Brooks to get done with classes for the day.  Soon I will have to head back to Texarkana and the 'real world', but for now I will sip my coffee and gaze, pondering, out the open window.
