Back in Knoxville

Well, I'm back in Knoxville, and I'm SO happy to be back! I had one small problem on the drive back from PA (flat tire) that caused me to have to stay one night in a hotel, and make the trip in two days instead of one, but otherwise there were no problems. It was a bit odd saying goodbye to mom and dad because during the summer it was, "See you at Thanksgiving," and then, "See you at Christmas." Now I have no idea when I'll be in PA next. Possibly Sring Break, possibly not until summer. Dad keeps saying I have to come back sometime (he misses me), and when I told mom I was going home I got the response, "No, you're going back to school. *This* is your home." And that actually kinda amuses me because mom and dad have both urged me to get away from home a bit more, and now that I am they're missing me. Of course I miss them too; it's not like I'll never come home, I just don't know when that will be.

Anyway things in Knoxville are excellent albeit a bit cold. Brrr! Classes start on Wednesday, and I'm glad I have a few days to relax and hang out with friends before having to worry about classes. I guess that's about it for now.
