LAST POST?! Hopefully not...

What to do with this blog? Tonight is my last night this summer where I'm technically a 'traveling' Ali. Tomorrow night I'll be sleeping in the new house. I can't continue a blog titled 'Summer of the Traveling Ali' if I'm not TRAVELING! Sooo...I'll probably submit one more blog after this one. A finale blog. About how move-in went, etc. And to reflect on my travels. Ohhhhh travels...

Yesterday was pretty awesome because I didn't have to be at work til noon. I hung out in the morning here at Kat and Mara's apartment. Then walked to work. And worked at the Bash office. Then worked at the Writing Center. Fun times. I got keys from Rory to get my mattress out of his room for move-in tomorrow (complicated story, but I WILL get that mattress!) It was girls night back at the apartment with Kat and Katie Messner--SO much fun hanging out with those two, even though it was just for a little while before they headed out. I got some yummy Ben & Jerry's ice cream last night, too which was definitely a highlight of yesterday!

This morning I couldn't even sleep in until my alarm went off, despite the fact that I stayed up until 1:30 in the morning. Whatever, I headed in extra early to meet up with the SALP staff for our Friday retreat to Holland, MI! The van ride was one of my favorite parts, with Chris Sligh jammin out to Ke$ha, Nicole teaching us her new game, and PJ schooling us on how to handle cops if one happens to get pulled over! Haha!

We went to a park in Holland, played this game called bags (glorified bean bag toss--SO FUN!) and had a delicious cookout with burgers, hot dogs, and tons of other yummies! I climbed a hill of sand and felt very accomplished afterward and also pretty much burned my feet on the sand's hotness, but I survived so it was ok. We played Uno and other fun stuff before packing up and heading out to get some ice cream at this place that was called Captain's I think. WAY good ice cream, but I'm still full! Too much food!

I just kinda napped for a bit and now I'm being a bum. The sun really made me tired, but I'm starting to wake up a bit. I wonder if I'll actually do anything else today or just be a bum until bedtime. Only one way to find out!
