A Girl With a Sword

I Rule!

3 days
1200 miles
19 hours of driving
40 gallons of gas
2 cups of coffee (yeah, don't ask me how I did that, they were both McDonald's too)

The three-day epic driving fest of Linnea is over. I made it to Columbia at six thirty, only five hours after I left Chattanooga, alright! I beat the predicted driving time on Google maps by two and a half hours. Got here, met the girl who will probably be my roommate. She drove me around Columbia, but I was really far too tired to take it in. Now I'm in a coffee shop soaking in the caffeine and the wireless internet. I always have a moment of panic when I get to a new place and can't get wireless. I did this in Grand Forks, too, and I think my addiction kind of scared my roommate there, so I did not share my fears with Maranatha. That's my rommate's name, isn't that awesome? And even cooler, she has been okayed by the Amy Knutson (who I feel deserves a definite article). The house where I'm living is an old brick house. I have the top bedroom, my own personal Valhalla. It's a shabby, hardwood floor, chipping paint kind of place, like our house in Boston. I like that.
