Never did see the arch, tho
First, I want to apoligise to my family for not comming back to Omaha for fall break. I really did miss you guys, and I'm sorry I sorta blew you off like I did at the time. Don't worry, though, the weekend of the 6th should be fun.
Okay, so if I didn't go to Omaha, where did I go? For fall break, I spend last weekend in St. Louis, Missouri. I knew a bunch of people who lived down there, and they were planning to do some fun-sounding stuff, so I went with them for a few days of fun in some city I'd only driven through. And lemmie tell ya, the 4-6 hour drive there was worth it!
I got to see friends of friends, families of friends, and the sights at St. Louis. There's this thing called the "City Museum", for example, that is basically an adult playground. Someone decided to renovate an old building downtown, and the thing now has 3 stories of slides and other crazy things. It was great. I also got to experience the Loop, a cool shopping-type area kinda like Old Market in Omaha or the 16th Street Mall in Denver. The place that we ate at, "Fitz's", seriously has the best rootbeer I have ever tasted in my life. You have to try the stuff to experience it.
I also got to learn this crazy new card game. I can't remember what it's called, but it's... unique. Knowing how my extended family like I do, I should probabally try to remember it soon here so I can teach it to them.
Fall break was a blast, everyone. I don't think Bobby reads this here blog, but I want to thank him and his family publicly for letting me stay at their house. Oh, and having some real home cooking was a nice break, too.
That's about it... Oh yeah, fun news: There's a world civ 'midterm' on Monday, and she only told us about it yesterday. On top of that, I swear we like just had one.
Don't worry about it tho; I'm certainly not going to loose any sleep over it. History's pretty easy as far as essay writing goes, and this is like the squillionth time I've studied the Romans, so things'l work out.
I also promise to blog more. No, really.

You know, Paul... Parents REALLY REALLY like it when you come home. I pulled a surprise visit on mine this weekend, and they went through the roof. I swear, every time I leave my Mom, it just gets worse. She didn't even cry when she dropped me off on move in day, and she was practically bawling when I left Denver this time.
I'm surprised that St. Loius (sp?) is so close. I drove the car back from Denver today and yesterday, and thats a long way! I applied to the Mankato Noodles & Co today too. Cross your fingers and say nine billion novenas that they hire me!
Good luck on your test.
PAULY! Im glad you had a blast hon but I missed you bunches!!! SO COME HOME SOON!!! :) KARLY
