We pulled into Madison, Wisconsin at about 6pm CST tonight for the last night of our big road trip. The cool thing is that Shorewood (our new hometown) is only an hour and a half drive from Madison, so there's not much driving left. We'll have the whole day to unload the truck and get to work unpacking everything.
Our drive today was nice. The majority of it was spent going all the way across southern Minnesota. Nothing much there except corn fields, a few trees and a town every now and then. My parents even agreed that it was quite boring. I'm guessing that Minnesota gets more interesting as you head north. Anyways, once we approached the Mississippi River, the landscape changed completely. The Mississippi River creates the border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, and once you get to Wisconsin, you see a whole lot of one thing: trees. These aren't pine trees that are so abundant in WA. I'm not sure what kind of trees these are, but I bet they're the trees that have leaves that change colors in the autumn. If that's the case, Wisconsin is absolutely gorgeous in autumn! I guess we'll find out.
Tomorrow we will arrive at our new apartment at around 9am and get the keys. Then, the unloading process begins. I feel so bad for my parents for having to drive that uncomfortable 24-foot moving truck for the whole trip. I'm so thankful that they've put up with it with no serious complaints. They even paid for some of the fuel. My parents are awesome. Completely awesome. They have always done so much for us, and continue to. This kind of help is unmatched.
What a great state to be in. What a fine time we're going to have. How happy I am for finally getting to do grad school. I've got to take advantage of this. Lots of hard work and dedication, as well as enjoying the area around me. I've got to find the right balance of work and play, which I've never always been good at. It's always been too much play.
Whatever. I'll figure it out. Why worry about it, huh?
Take care and value music.
