the west coast is the best coast...

...or so says schmegan, and i'm about to find out in about three and a half weeks. megs found me a roommie named emily in berkeley, and my sis and i are driving coast country in my shitty ford taurus with all the crap it can carry. shoul be swell. and all of this is made possible because my dad finally agreed to co-sign on a forty thousand dollar loan -- and the best part was, he agreed after taking me out for dinner, and i got to hear the news while eating bourbon scallops wrapped in phyllo dough.

i must say, i'm kinda going to miss wisconsin -- the scenery, at any rate. after ignoring it for so long when i was growing up, i feel i can finally appreciate what the midwest has to offer asthetically. it's enough to make a girl weep.

luckily, i'm heading somewhere beautiful, so i think i'll get over it relatively quickly. ;)
