Hey guys!
I'm back!

I had such a nice conference, but I'm too lazy to go into too much detail right now. Next post, maybe?

Saturday was a lot of fun... I got to talk to Claire Messud and Andrew Hudgins, who were both very cool people, and encouraged my writing. Mr. Hudgins kept making fun of my being a "Yankee" and tried to make me turn red by telling as many crazy jokes as he could. The dance was a blast too.

HOWEVER. The next day was HELL.

First of all, I managed to twist my ankle. I imagine almost everyone has managed to have done that before, but I've never had anything worse than bruises. And my God, it hurts like a bitch. It took everyone a little while to notice that I wasn't getting up, and Paul finally asked if I needed medical attention. I, being a ho, said no, I was fine to walk.

Then I said my goodbyes to everyone, which was very sad. I'll miss those guys. *sniff*

When we got to Nashville Airport, everyone picked up their luggage and went inside. It took me a minute to realize that my ankle hurts even more when you put that much pressure on it. But somehow, I got it inside... where I had to wait in a huge line to check everything. It was extremely hot, and the pain and heat together were making me really dizzy. -_-

Then came a long, but kind of funny, series of events, in which I forgot my boarding pass in the gift shop, went to buy a Coke, then realized it was gone, panicked, and was paged by the gift shop, who had it, and needed my ID. A few minutes later, found my ID, got my boarding pass, and left. I forgot the Coke, so they threw it away.

The flight itself wasn't awful, but when I finally got home and was ready to see my parents again, they... were nowhere to be found. A frustrating ten minutes of rushing around the airport, trying to call/page them later, mommy finally showed up. By then, my bags were the last ones going around, but at least we got a skycab when my mom told the guy I was walking on a bad ankle.

Then we finally got home, and the power was out again. And it would be out for the next. 10 1/2. Hours.

And now it's Monday. And I need to catch up on everyone. But first, must get more ice for my ankle...

Missed you all!
