I am coming home tomorrow, even though I only have four days of classes left. I "have to take the Basic Skills Test in Wheaton," and that will take me two full days.

I haven't been home this semester as much as I thought I would be. It's been two weeks since the last time I was home, and before that I was at school for three solid weeks. Despite only taking 14 hours and not having marching band, I've been really busy.

I guess I've been busy with extra-curriculars. Campus Veg Society and Studens for Economic Justice, mostly, both of which are YMCA programs. I'm on the student board of the YMCA now, I guess because they thought that since I was already spending so much time there it would be appropriate to spend even more time there.

I'm not even sure how much time I'll be able to devote to that stuff next semester. I'll be taking 18 hours, four hours of which is an English class which promises to have lots of reading, and one hour of which is Marching Illini (which is actually more like 9hrs/week plus gamedays). I'm worried I'll go a little crazy.

I'll have a car on campus next year, which will be nice. I won't have to waste so much time waiting for buses or trains. And I can go home more frequently, even if I won't be able to stay for entire weekends.

And I guess I can go to Savoy if the mood ever strikes me.
