I survived

The drive was ridiculously long. However, I've managed to unpack my computer (and only my computer) so I can do all sorts of fun stuff like update my blog.

The first thing I noticed when we left Chicago was that everything was cheaper. Dinner suddenly became $10 instead of $15. Amazing. The second thing I noticed was that Wisconsin police are like fat people - numerous. This made driving through Wisconsin filled with law-abiding behavior. I guess I'll just have to break as many laws as possible in Minnesota to make up for it.

There was one really great part about the drive here. When I was about thirty miles away from St. Paul, my friend called me and said that she wanted to see me tomorrow. It made me feel welcome and at home - gotta love the feeling.
