Yea so last week's post went up early. so thats whay the days on then are 8 apart. anyway, Welcome to this week's update, theres actually a fair amount to cover for once, so lets get onto it. so last wednesday was mainly filled wiht finalizing my packing and such and then doing some doctors appointments an getting my haircut. From there, i drove seom and otherwise jsut hung out wiht my parents and my dog.
Thursday and friday were what i had been looking forward too all summer. A road trip with my Dad out here to School. We had gone into wiht the goals of my getting some good rain driving practice and some practice on checking my blind spot before merging. THe latter i did when i was driving and now its like second nature for me to do its. Funnily enough on the rain drivign note, its would on drizzle on occasion when i drove that first day, and it poured when my dad was driving when we were in the mountains of maryland heading to west virginia. We stopped in Morgantown, WV for the night at a holiday inn not too far from the highway. Driving that day had been lots o fun and i was surpised at how natural highway driving was for me once i got on the DC beltway and all my future stints on the drive. we drove abotu 4 hours that day to morgantown, and two of the times we switched to the other person to drive we turned off at the most random places. We turned off one time at a country club type place that had many people playing golf. once we switched my dad found a strya golfball in the parking lot and i grabbed it and still have it. the other place we switched that sticks with me was when we exited the highway, pulled onto a side road and puled into some gravel pit by some hick house. it was kind of amusing. And then we kept drivign.
The second day of the roadtrip was fun. My dad started off and drove us to Washington PA, where we stopped and switched drivers. I then dorve to new cord ohio where we got lunch and switched drivers. parkign was aminor issue there, but it was fine. apparetnly theres a university right there named Muskingum university. he funny name. So then after eating we drove through ohio and my dad most of the flat part initially. Then i drove and it got hilly whcihc was hilarious. after my dad's next drive, we made a slight detour to Dayton Airport, just so i could get a feel for driving back to school from there. That was fun, and i was kinda surprised by how long the drive to the state line was. I then drove us into the hotel and yea. we then relaxed and got dinner eventually.
The next day, we woke up, got bob evans for breakfast and then spent the day practicing driving routes and saw The Expendables. The driving was fun, as was the movie. The back way i take in town to the movie seems to take a bit long though. Sunday we moved me in after getting food and dirving out to the uhaul place and getting the truck. it was fun to move in and dissassemble the extra bed in my room. We got my room squared away shortly after the NSO meeting that night and then retunred the Uhaul truck at 8 and then got a very late dinner. I've then been on my own on campus since that ngith and its fun. my room feels homey, though i feel tempted to get a rug.
my room has a view of the front area in front of bundy and the walk leading up to the HEart on campus. its nice.
On a music not, the new album from Filter dropped yesterday and to be breif, it straight up rocks. One of my favorite albums of the year for sure.
Thats it for me. comment below.
