and suddenly it's the end of august. as much as i loved summer in chicago, im ready to go home and see my friends and family and dog again though my friends from home all just returned to college (darned quarter system xD). late september i'll be excited to go back to school which is also home. i miss my friends and i cannot wait to see them again, and to fall back into our old rhythms, which will be old andnew and different, all at the same time.
