21.5.10

The one in Kansas.

Wednesday: 6 miles hill training, treadmill, 45 minutes.
Today: 8 miles hill training, home to 135th & Nall, 63 minutes.

As you can tell by the title of this post, I am finally back in Kansas. It's always interesting living with my parents again. Even though I'm 21 years old, they sort of group me with my 18 and 15-year-old siblings and forget that I was even gone in the first place, therefore assuming their roles as parents and rule-makers again. Not fun. I mean it's nice eating for free, but I always enjoyed my independence.

Yesterday I got an email from Baylor asking me to work in the medical humanities office this summer. Had I gotten the offer two weeks ago, I would have been all over that! Unfortunately I had to turn it down since I'm already home and set to work here. Plus, my flight out to Paris leaves from Kansas City so I'd have had to come back at some point anyway.

Bonnie, Erin, and Jean finally left for Maastricht this afternoon, after five days of delay due to the ash clouds. I'm assuming their flight departed, so I just pray that they don't have to turn around again! It only just makes me worry about my own trip. Speaking of that, today marks the 40-day mark in the countdown! I'm one Lent season away from the highlight of the summer. I bought an umbrella today; I've spent the last three years at Baylor without one and I figured I might need one in case of rain in Europe, and I don't plan on spending 25 Euro on something I could have (and did get) at Walmart for 6 bucks. My mom also got me an adorable dress at White House Black Market for my trip. It's jersey knit so it'll roll up well and not wrinkle in my backpack.
