so much has been going on I don't even know where to start. I spent last weekend in upstate New York seeing where Summer's from. It was...educational, to say the least. I don't think I could ever get used to living in a town of 120 people, where the nearest city is 10,000 people. Evanston has more than that and it's still a suburb. The only thing to do in Watertown is to go to the mall. If I had to live at Old Orchard I'd hate every day.
On the plus side, though, it was really cool to meet Summer's friends and see exactly where she's coming from. It's so incomplete here to try to understand people without seeing how they are in the environment they spent the first 18 years of their life growing in. I don't think I spoke much the entire weekend 'cause I just wanted to observe. To see her face light up when she walked into a tiny corner-market and surprise an old friend of hers who she hasn't seen in four months was absolutely breathtaking. I live for these moments, and it doesn't even matter that they happened to someone else.
