so right now i am in ithica new york. this has been a bad luck couple of days. i left chicago, where i have been since last last sunday, yesterday morning. i tried to get in touch with my friendwho was in canada while i was in canada, cause i went there to see the falls, but i couldnt find him. then i called my friend in syracuse but she was asleep so i drove to syracuse and stayed in a really expensive hotel. now i am in ithica. i hung out here for awhile and had a beer and had an okay time, but now i cant find my friedn who may or may not still live here. i am in a dumb internet cafe where a bunch of 17 year olds are about to start playing terrible rock music, i think, and i dont know if i should keep trying to track down this girl or if i should just drive back to boston. i could be there by 12 or so, i think. who knows.
