Come anyway, at least for brunch. A good hot meal will make you feel lots better, and you can leave as soon as the eating is done and go off to your studying. You'll study better on a full stomach.

OK don't kill me but I think I'm going to bail on this one - working from home has me absolutely stir crazy (though I'm still glad I do it) - I need to hit the road and get out of here for the w/e! I'm not sure where yet! Hope to make a meetup soon!

Yeah, I think your reactions/emotions are pretty normal. Most of us adult skaters skate because we actually enjoy it and it's our way to 'escape' a little bit each day. I KNOW you are so strong and so well-rounded that you will make the best of this and find a way to re-direct your creativity and energy into something else that will bring you happiness. Love ya! If there's anything I can do to help cheer you up just let me...

Great! I love IHOP. There's also Big Ed's City Market at 220 Wolfe St Raleigh, NC 27601. Anyone have a preference? Looking forward to this!

Arrrgghhh...I just realized that this rink is artificial, not real ice. I don't mind trying it out for a little while, but I just wanted to point it out for others. Looplover - glad you're on board!

oooh, yikes, I don't really want to skate on the artificial ice. I've seen it at shopping malls and it looks like people basically walking around on ice skates with maybe a wee bit of 'slide' going on occasionally. plus my blades are dull and I heard it will only make them more dull. Isn't there a real-ice rink that opens sometime in December in Cary? I'd be up for that? Also, I think it would be fun to meet up at...

Week nights don't work for me (work and school committments) but I could potentially do a Sat or Sun, except for the 12th when I'm on call.
