Salem

I had a really great first day back. I didn't expect so many people to meet up with me on the first day. I had people calling me while I was still on the train home. The last people left at 5 in the a.m. AND, I actually had to tell someone that I just couldn't make time to hang out yet. I have plans all the way through Sunday. A week just may not be enough.


As much as I hate southern IL, I love visiting. Everyone knows me here. People FLOCK to me. And it's because they GENUINELY care about me. We've been through some crazy situations together. My phone has been ringing off the hook. People are trying to convince me to stay an extra week already.

If only I didn't hate the area so much, I think I'd never leave.
