This was a good weekend. My parents arrived on Thursday, so I went shopping with them and then we had dinner (at somewhere not the cafeteria! Don't get me wrong, the food here is good, but it was nice not to have to wait in line to get food and not have to take my dishes away and being served and such for a change) and then watched My Name Is Earl, 30 Rock, and The Office in their hotel. Friday afternoon, after I finished class, we bought some random stuff at Office Depot and then went and bought a bunch of books at Barnes and Noble. I'm not sure how this ended up taking 4 hours, but it did. Then we ate dinner out, once again, and went to see Angels in America Part 1, which my school was putting on and was very good. Saturday we went to downtown Minneapolis and wandered around in the morning, and then in the afternoon we went to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. At night the Wind Ensemble performed and then we watched some episodes off of The Office Season 3 DVDs. We had breakfast this morning and then they left. It was a really nice weekend. I thought it would feel weird, but it actually felt a lot more normal to spend time with them than when I came back to my room. It felt more like I was on vacation and would be returning home soon, so it was kind of disappointing every time I had to go back to my room.

I am not looking forward to the next few weeks. Several tests and that stupid midterm paper is due in less than two weeks now. I am looking forward to it being Fall Break. Originally I was going to try to go to Chicago with Emma and visit Annie, but there are a lot of issues to figure out and I am terrible at planning, so I don't know that I can put that together. If I don't go there, then I'll visit home, which would also be really nice. I just need to get through these 2 1/2 weeks.
