I have to admit ~ it took a lot less time that I thought it would to go completely insane while driving home from New Hampshire to South Bend. I had stopped at a friend's lake house for a night of rest and recuperation before I was to attempt the 15 hour trip back to the Midwest. Despite being armed with 5 hours of Spanish lessons on my ipod ~ in no time I was engaging in wonderfully insightful and captivating conversation with myself . I passed through some beautiful places ~ Vermont being the highlight ~ and the drive actually went quicker than I thought it would ~ thanks largely to consuming enough coffee to kill a small horse.
Once back at Notre Dame we began to settle in properly to our new surroundings. Just prior to leaving for NY we had pooled our resources with a friend from the program and the three of us had moved into a townhouse together. It was a pretty amazing lifestyle upgrade ~ having just been built a year or two ago, and includes a garage (yes that's a big deal) and is so close to ND you can see the campus. So, as we now settle down for another semester ~ we have begun carefully planning the next trip…
