April 7, 2008 12:27am

Back in Lewisburg for a week of assorted nonsense required by school.

I'm happy to be back here because I really missed this town....I think. Maybe I just missed the routine of school. I know for sure that I missed the burgers at Jim's Drive-In, the organic steaks at Stardust and the vegan wraps at The Wild Bean.

Clearly, I am very food oriented.

I packed up everything from the house in Buckhannon and drove back down to where my life in WV began.

At the moment, I am in bed at the Hampton Inn. I love Hampton Inn hotels. Maybe it's all Hilton hotels, but I especially love Hampton Inns. I love it because there is a great big bed with fluffy blankets and a lap desk. I can get a hot breakfast in the morning and coffee all day.

Unfortunately, most of my class is also staying at this hotel. It is more like the WVSOM dorm than my beloved Hampton Inn hotel. People I know are everywhere, and I feel like a hermit in my room. I ran into a classmate at the elevator. He said something like, "This week won't be so bad. School all day and then we get to party all night."

Obviously, he doesn't know me very well. I didn't "party" at all my first two years of school here. I'm not about to start now.

I have an absurd amount of luggage in the room with me. I didn't plan for packing well, and I just threw everything into bags. I didn't bother to separate out what I would need for my week here versus what I need for the rest of my life in NJ. Basically, I have every toiletry item, every piece of underwear, and every sock I own in this room, along with various other unmatched clothing items.

But I am in a Hampton Inn, so life is good. I told Roger we should consider moving into one.

What I am most looking forward to for this week is knowing that I don't have to make breakfast. someone else is making it for me. someone else is putting out the yogurt and fruit and bagel or whatever else might be on the menu.

Yes, the Hampton Inn is just about the closest thing there is to heaven right here on earth.

Clearly, my standards for heaven are not set very high.
