Glad to hear it! Are you going home for T-giving break? THat was always so exciting for me, especially freshman year because you got to see everyone back home and it was just a true homecoming!

Amlyn, the town has really changed in the past 10 years. All of those high rise apartments downtown, have really changed our skyline. And they're the reason for the dorms changing, too. I NEVER realized(being poor back then, and commuting, until the start of my junior year) that there were than many people who could afford $1500-2000 apartments! But there's apparently an infinite supply. So that's why the dorms are changing...no one wants to live there anymore, so they're making them more upscale, to have more appeal.

And it is funny about the cell phones and wifi. My 75yo aunt, who actually is very cool and hip, and I, are in complete agreement, that the world we live in now, is a completely different world, than that of ONLY 15 years ago. Technology has completely changed our world, in too many ways to mention.

You bet I meant Bloomington. Yeah, i was amazed at the price of things. I looked up tuition and room and board and about fell off the floor 3x what i paid 13-17 years ago. Im so happy i got to return. If you told me 2 year ago I'd be back, I would have never believed it.

As great as my mini vacay has been here in Indiana, I"ve anxious to get home. I"ve been at the Indy airport delayed for 2.5 hours. Great new airport BTW, except after 7pm there's no food! OMG...finally boarding!!!
