The Band Went Down to Nashville

...and it was equal parts badness and goodness.
Badness:
-Two 18-hour overnight bus rides + staying up late cause I was with friends + early morning wake-ups both days we were in Nashville = total of 28 hours of sleep, tops, over the course of 5 days. I do not do well without sleep; the day after we got home, despite taking a nap and having a full night's rest the day before, I  had this horrible empty feeling and a splitting headache all day. It disappeared today, probably because I slept for 12 hours last night.
-Despite the fact that the trip was only four days long, we still managed to have some drama/conflict/annoyances. Yay.
-Though I love large crowds of people, I hate when all the people in the crowd are from the same place/are together - i.e., 250 students on a band trip together.
-The first day we were there, it poured all day.
-I think I lost our family's copy of Spirited Away.
-Nashville, while certainly not without its charms, was not as cool as New Orleans, which was absolutely beautiful.

Goodness:
-Travel is pretty much always good; it's just really nice to get away.
-I'm so happy I roomed with the people I did, because they were/are awesome. In general, the people I hung out with on this trip were great; the drama came from people I didn't spend much time with.
-I didn't feel the need to buy as much while in Nashville, so I spent a lot less than when we went to New Orleans.
-The final day in Nashville was much, much warmer, which made up for the first day.
-In fact, that final day in general was awesome. We got to see the choir perform at the Rhyland, the jazz band played at a restaurant where we ate, and I learned how to line dance.
