Moving In

So move in day was Monday but I'm going to start with Friday since I can't explain everything that happened that day without going that far back.
Friday morning I woke up and got semi-ready because that afternoon Laura, my very dear friend from Atlanta, was flying back home and I planned on escorting her to the airport. I also planned to take the L straight from Midway Airport to my boyfriend's dorm to celebrate his birthday with him.
The entire morning we just sit watching TV since we had run out of things to do and we had to leave around 1pm anyway. Finally it was time to go so we took the L to the airport, I saw her off, and then went to my boyfriend's dorm to wait for him to return from work. I gave him a knitted Starcraft 2 hat with the zerg logo on it since he plays zerg. I also gave him an Edible Arrangements bouquet to substitute for cake since he loves fruit and isn't a huge fan of sugar.
The next morning, Saturday, I got up and returned to my aunt's to search for my camera which I am sorry to say I lost. I cannot find it anywhere. I was so sad I just went straight to my boyfriend Jerry's dorm, comPLETEly forgetting about the block party I had promised about six kids I was attending. He and I walked around Chicago for a bit until it was time to head over to German Fest which from his dorm was on the whole other side of Chicago. It took us about an hour to get there (thank you stupid L workers for making the L go so slow :p ). I was supposed to meet his good friend in from Afghanistan but he couldn't make it. At any rate, some other friends were there and we celebrated Jerry's birthday. I had planned that night on returning to my aunt's and sleeping there so I could wake up the next morning and begin loading her car and driving down to Naperville to move into my dorm; however, I decided Jerry was coming home with me since his dorm was so far away and my aunt's was much closer. On the L though Jerry convinced me it was better to go to his dorm so I ended up going with him back to his dorm. I ended up staying the night to watch him because he didn't feel well.
The next morning, Sunday morning to be exact, I woke up and checked on him and then left. I finally arrived at my aunt's around noon to find no car and two very anxious beagles, one of which is only a couple months old and therefore must be taken out when she's excited to avoid accidents. So after I took them out I waited for my aunt to return. When she did, she asked if I would watch the youngest, Millie, while she colored her hair. That took about an hour or two. In the meantime, Jerry told me he'd come help me move in. So around 4pm, my aunt finishes and Jerry arrives and we start loading the car, which I couldn't do while watching Millie because she isn't allowed downstairs. About 5pm we leave Chicago and head toward Naperville. I believe we arrived around 6pm, just as one of my roommates was leaving for dinner with one of her friends. She offered to help unpack but Jerry and I told her we had it under control.
So after forgetting my ID card to get back into the building a couple times we manage to move me completely in and realize there is no way I am driving him back tonight and taking a train back to Naperville. So we just go out to eat and we go to his house which is only 30 min away and we both crash there for the night.
By the way, this day, Sunday, was the ACTUAL day of Jerry's birthday. I know, what a way to spend your birthday- moving your girlfriend in :p
On to Monday, the first day of classes for me. Jerry and I wake up around 6:30 and leave around 7:30. We hit a lot of traffic but we manage to get back to my aunt's sooner than he expected. Still, the next train into Naperville isn't until 12:30 and my last class starts at 1:20 and since it's over an hour train ride I basically missed all of my classes on the first day.
And that is how this school year began.
