One Very Long Week

So right now, most of you are aware that I am between living situations. I just had my goodbye party back home, and I only just finished my week back in Indianapolis, Indiana. Let me tell you, for me at least, this was one busy week. Let me just begin at the beginning.

Saturday morning I ventured back to the same town I lived in for five months. I’ve been away for a few months but the second I arrived, the feeling was surreal. I almost felt like I never left.

The next day moved by slowly. While the girls went to Metropolis to shop for clothes, I stayed home to rest. Later that afternoon, I decided to bus downtown to revisit old friends who I used to work with at the mall, but sadly, the bus never showed at it’s scheduled time.

On Monday the 27th, I went downtown once more, to Ivy Tech to turn in paperwork for my financial aid information. Because my mother was absent, I had to forge her signature. I was hopeful to go to Hollister this time after finishing up, but due to the onset of a very severe migraine headache, I had to rush home. Later, I diagnosed this to be the third worst migraine of my life.

That night we decided to pull an all nighter, because a friend was going in for surgery early the next morning. Probably a terrible idea, seeing how grumpy everyone was at 5:30 in the morning. As soon as we got back from taking her to the hospital, we crashed, only to be woken up two hours later to pick her up…the surgery was over. Needless to say we got back and slept clear to six o’clock in the afternoon. After waking up I finally was able to go to the mall, only to realise, all my old managers were fired for drinking on the job.

The next day we went to Carmel, IN, just north of Indianapolis. There we found the miniature museum, run by an old lady. We had to ring the doorbell to get in. From the museum, we went to a garden. Nothing much to add there.

On Thursday, I went to the Indianapolis Zoo. There I saw many animals like lions and tigers and bears, oh my! I was also able to see some elephants do tricks, and I fed a giraffe! After this I went to yet another garden just outside the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The garden led to this gigantic old mansion that I was able to take a tour of, very cool. Finally I ended up at the museum, just in time to see some 700 year old paintings of the crucifixion. Also a ~500 BC Wine jar. Seeing something that old one foot away from me was super awesome. I don’t think I was suppose to, but I snapped a picture of it.

Tomorrow, I will head back to the museum to finish the last two levels. I hear there is some 4000 year old art work still to see. Not sure if I’ll be doing anything else tomorrow or not, but we’ll be leaving for Minneapolis this Saturday, so stay tuned.
