There is no title great enough to describe this...

I got back from 2 weeks in Austin on Monday and have been messing up my sleeping and eating schedule ever since. The jetlag definitely just works one way. I didn't feel like this in Austin. I also finally got my big suitcase back from the airline who decided that a big pink & white polka dot suitcase with an "OUT OF ITALY" tag on it wasn't obvious enough.
I won't recap every detail of the trip, but here are the highlights. Lauren, Ken, Dad: you're welcome.

I was super busy, but it was amazing being with so many friends and my whole family. I could not have asked for a better trip.

Hopefully I will get my brain to follow my body back into my routine soon. There are a few memorial days and an independence day coming up here-- look for reflections on them in the coming weeks.
