I can see my house from here

So it is now 4:28 am. But it's okay 'cause I didn't get up till 2:00 p.m. today. My roommate isn't here and so I was doing schoolwork. Then I decided to look up how close Oxford was to England because I wanted to see if I might be able to visit the Bird and Baby while I'm there at Christmas (I'm pretty sure I can. Yay!). Then I discovered something really, really cool. The satellite feature on Google maps. I'd always seen it but never used it. That was very, very silly of me. So after touring all of England and Scotland I realized that I might be able to find my house on this thing. And I did. Then I found church, and Jill's house, and Eric's house, and grandma's house, and the library, and SCCC, and Dairy Queen, and all kinds of other things. It was amazing. It is also rather difficult to figure out what things are when you are used to seeing them from the side and not from above, but it is super fun. I've decided I'm going to get Elisabeth, Jillian, and Ashley in here to show them around town. I'm hoping that they are all coming home with me for Fall Break. I know Jillian is. Elisabeth still has to get final permission from her Dad, and Ashley might need to stay and catch up on school. But I think that they will all end up coming. We will probably end up coming on sat the 14th. I'm very excited. This will be fun. Anyway, you should all try to play with google maps now because it is very fun. I like it a lot.
