it must be a mandate
Below is my 10th post. That's 9 more than I ever thought I'd make. Given that each time it's like giving birth through my tear duct, I feel a need to say thanks to everyone who's kept me going through sometimes what seems like the tiniest bit of support. Each time I hear that someone is thinking of me or keeping up with my news is more heartening than you'd think.

The news, by the way, includes a gradual realization that I'll be going back to Iowa this fall, that in fact it sounds like there was never really a question about it. We never had the big discussion about it that was promised, it was just a matter of being attentive to my dad's asides in conversation. The more I think about it, the more it seems like pulling me out of school was an empty threat. It sounds childish, but the people that know him [even if only for a minute] shouldn't be surprised. If you'll excuse my channeling the inner emo LJ-whore, it'll be nice to get the hell out of this wicked little town. I'll get a taste of that tomorrow, when people will be paying me to leave my house, sleep on their couch, eat their food, and play with their dog. I think I might like house-sitting.

    It's so good to hear you're coming back! I look forward to directing many weird faces and snarky comments your way in practice-- it does so lighten the mood during ACF packets.

    Hey Pete,
    good to hear that you are coming back to Iowa City, although I won't be there, but I'm planning on maybe returning for a visit next spring. So I hope you'll be there.
