Fun in Wisconsin

So...living in Wisconsin for the summer...sounds like a blast, right? Well, you might not believe it but since I'm from Iowa, the Beloit area is actually a pretty entertaining place compared to the dear old hometown. Reasons why I'm excited about being here include (but are not limited to...) 1) Indian food dinners!! I really respect people who can cook (since, as my boyfriend can attest, I literally messed up a box of Kraft Mac'n'Cheese last night) and especially people like my friend Julia who can whip up some delicious paneer and curry. 2) Riverfest on the shores of the Rock River in Beloit...the lineup this summer looks positively amazing: Steppenwolf, BLUE öYSTER CULT!!, and Cheap Trick--to name a few. Styx was here last summer, but since I'd already had the pleasure of hearing "Lady" in concert, I decided to forego shelling out the cash for a ticket and was content with just listening to the distant strains from my porch. This summer, however, I'm definitely dishing out since the Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper" is certainly in my top five song favorites. 3) THE BUNNY. My friend Hannah is allowing me to babysit her bunny "Mr. Z" for the summer (don't worry, I live off-campus for the time being so it's totally legal) and he's really really cute and likes to run around the living room and play, and he's even getting used to being petted all the time which is awesome because he's SO SOFT and delightful.

I'm sure more reasons will come up as the days tick by--unfortunately, my blogging time is almost up for the day!! Yay for summer.
