"They say you can't buy love, but I know you can rent it..."

I realize I disappeared for a few days, but you'll have to understand. Believe it or not, I finally have an apartment arranged! So, on Sunday, I received my keys to the place in Laurel. I bought a couch, got a free mattress and box spring from my awesome landlord, and am slowly moving personal items. Here's a pic of Lizzie sitting in the bedroom window (the only one with a deep sill for her).

As well, I began my stats course, pitched in a game for my cousin's rec softball team (we won, 29-13), and went floating in an inner tube down the Little Gunpowder river (north of Baltimore). If you're interested, Danny (who has to read many, many newspapers daily) found the following article about some guys who got lost floating in the same spot this past weekend! It's at http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/baltimore_county/bal-md.co.tubing18jul18,0,7757779.story.

Sadly, all the week's action also means that it's late, I'm tired, and there's homework left to do. I'll get back to y'all soon...
