So I went home! I know it's a "waste" of gas, driving back and forth from Athens to Marietta, but I couldn't help it! Aside from the lonely apartment, Caitlin starting a job tomorrow, and having the weekend off of work, there was really no other reason for the trip... so I've started thinking-- the whole "going home thing" has kind of switched...
It used to be that when I took the hour and a half journey down 316 and 85, I was on my way home. I was going to see my friends, and stay in my room, and my house, in my town. Now, I feel like I'm going to my parents house, and when my mind wanders to going back to Athens, now I say, "Oh, I think I'll head home." I know that comes with the territory, but it is still an odd thought!

Before making the journey, I couldn't help a stop at j.crew with Caitlin. I expected to blow all of my money, but it was surprisingly difficult to find things I wanted! Of course I didn't leave empty handed; I went on my way with a pair of shorts, a tee, and a headband...but the real trouble came when I walked by the shoe store next door and saw a pair of Birkenstocks I've been eyeing for months... needless to say, I now own my first pair of Birkenstocks! WOOT!
