I've been in town the past three weekends. Really, I haven't been farther than the grocery store (which, granted, is 45 minutes away) since President's Day. And I'm getting restless. I did my lesson planning this morning so I'd have the afternoon off, but then didn't know what to do. I ended up driving to the town with the grocery store, even though most everything is closed on Sunday afternoon.
Three days of school and then I get two days off for spring break. You can bet that I'll be on the road Wednesday evening. I'm visiting a friend a couple of states over. It's about an eight hour drive, so I won't make it there after putting in a day at school. But the cost of the hotel room is totally worth getting away.
I miss being able to window shop in the boutiquey stores. Miss coffeeshops (that I never went in). Miss libraries (that were open when I wanted to use them). And so much more.
Three more months and I'll be through my first year. I'll be back next year. But wherever I end up after this will be more urban. (Though I'm honestly not sure that I could get much more rural in the continental states. It would take some effort. Going more urban, well, if grad school's my next step that's enough.)
