well, i was wrong. liz's dad had a business meeting in rochester, so he brought liz with him! i got to see my friend after not being able to see her face for over a month. she and i spent practically every day that she was here together, and we had a really good time. she and i gave each other little gifts to remember each other by, and she went back to st. louis.

when she left, i thought i'd cry, and be a nervous wreck (just like the last time she left). however, this time...i didn't cry. i have no idea why. i was still really sad and all that she was leaving, but i didn't cry. not one tear. i simply wrote her an e-mail telling her that i missed her, and to mail me when she gets home.

so, life goes on. she and i still e-mail each other every day, and send each other letters every once and a while. a long-distance phone call is an occasional treat, too. my mom is seriously discussing that i could go and see liz over columbus day break...i'm pretty excited about that. we'll see what happens.

liz, if you're reading this, i miss you very much!
