today was not such a great day. i got less than 5 hours of sleep last night (though I DID get a LOT of homework done!) and then endured three long classes.

I have about 985340985409830 pages to write between now and a month from now, and that's only the beginning. I've been really overwhelmed as of late with how alone {we} feel.

After a missed flight (due to pure stupidity on my part), a stand-by flight to Chicago, and a 15 hour train ride from Chicago to Syracuse, I arrived just over 24 hours after I'd started.
