Sucks to be home ;)

Well I arrived back to MA a little while ago from NC/SC and it sure does suck to be home, for the most part, lol. I just completed 2450 miles of driving, with the highlights being the 14hr/950 mile trip to SC from MA, the 7hr/350 mile trip from SC to NC, and the final leg of the trip, the 12hr/800 mile trip from NC to MA. Made all of the trips straight (minus pit stops) and alone (that part SUCKED) I accrued the other 350 somewheres along the line, lol. I made the trip in the GTP. Worse than all the driving was leaving behind my on/off GF of almost a year, who I am head over heels in love with (she feels the same about me, hehe) and may move down south to be closer to (may do my co-op in SC to see if we can deal with each other for 3 months instead of 3-5 days at a time, lol).

Some highlights were:
-The hottie GF in SC (hehe)
-Her kick butt house (would probably go for close to 750k here) with 2 HUGE TV's, hot tub, ping pong, pool, darts, 6 bedrooms, each with full baths, etc etc, you get the picture
-Weather in the 80's-90's during the day and 70's at night
-Trip to this GORGEOUS lake and cruising in a nice boat (and tubing too!)
-Beach
-Racing the GTP in the 1/4 (beat a GT, LS1, LT1 and lost to a race car of sorts)
-Crispy Creme's everywhere!
-Got to see 3 BEAUTIFUL sunrises and 2 AMAZING sunsets on my trips.

Why it stinks being home:
-Z is covered in crap, GTP is covered in SPLATTED bugs
-Ton's of laundry to do (GF was nice enough to do it for me)
-Bills to pay
-School Monday
-GF is 950 miles away
-Weather isn't as nice

I guess the short story is it stinks to be back from vacation and back to reality! Was cool to not have to worry about bills for a few. Ah well, guess I should sleep and stop whining! I really did miss my family, dogs, and friends though! Will be nice to catch up with all you F-body guys too, they were in short supply in SC and most in NC were V6, with a million GT's and SRT-4's running around! And most close to stock with no wild mods done. Definitely miss the scene around here.

Yup I'm a sophmore majoring in mechanical engineering. I've seen quite a few F-bodies around. I have a red Z28 with SS hood and replica ZR1 rims maybe you've seen me around.

Yeah, new england sucks. I want out ASAP when I get out of school. NC/SC is where I want to be, for the reasons you describe. I can't imagine it going 1 week without raining (and if it does the weekend is crap, like it is NOW). :mad: It will suck leaving friends behind, but I'll tell the bastages to come down here. :cool:

Gene-I'm always around Dodge Hall and Krentzman Quadrangle. Don't usually stray much farther except to the library for reasearch/HW. Lemme know if you want to meet up. I have a silver 96Z, though it has never graced NEU's campus.

I live in Virginia and I spend alot of time in NC and SC and with the exception of Atlantic Beach in NC and Myrtle/Surfside Beach in SC, I would much rather live in MA. FYI, I am originally from Hudson, MA.

GO SOX!!!
