My current favorite people: Jean, for helping me lug all my stuff upstairs; Rob, for being willing to drive me to the airport; all my other friends for just being awesome.

Tonight was fun. We surprised Anna - her birthday is coming up, so we had an early celebration. We went out the dinner, then had cake at the house. People are still there hanging out, but I'm exhausted, so I'm back at ML. I'm going to crash now and attempt to make amends with my poor lower back, which hates me oh so very much right now.

Home tomorrow.
