I just got home from the trip to Appalachia with Hand in Hand. It was really enlightening. I've heard a great deal about Eastern Kentucky, and how it's often compared to third world countries... but to see it firsthand... It was truly surreal. I'm very happy to have been able to help out, despite however small a difference we made.

Getting some rest tonight, and then I'm back on the road tomorrow morning. To Cedar Point we go. Weee!

Battlestar Galactica, why you so addictive?

I love hanging out with Alex. She makes me smile, and so do her family, and so do her cats. And Indian buffets sure don't hurt. :3

Wow. What? You're twenty years old. You've been "dating" on and off for a year. You're inviting me to your wedding?

Holy shit on a stick. I used to think you were different...

Officially done with the summer semester, as of 4PM yesterday. It's nice to have no obligations, despite how short lived that will be. I just got home from having lunch with Ben and Russ, and that was great. I've missed them.

Okay, back to no-obligations Thursday! It will most likely consist of the Big Bang Theory and Battlestar Galactica. Yeah, I'm that cool.

Finals tomorrow and Wednesday. I can do this. All I need is an 80 and an 85, respectively, and I'll make all A's this semester. I can DO THIS. So many things to look forward to afterward! Drive-in with Whitney and Rachel, lunch with Alex, Hand in Hand trip to Appalachia, Cedar Point, skydiving, Michigan, back to work. This is going to be an amazing summer, squeezed into a few weeks, but amazing no less.

When you throw fits like that, I can't help but think of you as a child. That's definitely what you acted like today. I wish I were patient enough to have stuck around... but I'm not. Not even close.

I've been looking on CouchSurfing.org a lot lately. I hope I can talk my brother into doing that. :3 We could meet so many interesting people.

This is me, confessing my love for Scott. He is wonderful, and just made my night. :)

Well, looks like I have an unexpected traveling partner for a trip to Australia and New Zealand: my brother. We're looking at going sometime next summer.

I'm so pumped. Let the planning begin.

Shakespeare said, "Listen to many, speak to a few." I'm trying to make this my mantra right now. I'm trying.

But I feel so unhelpful.

Finally, I will have music in my life again.

I desperately want to go to New Zealand and Australia.

I need a traveling buddy.

What an excellent day! I managed to get up before 11 on a Saturday (which has seemed awfully difficult to me, as of late). I went to the park with Yuko, Sage, and Alex, after having lunch with them. Tie dyed t-shirts with Alex and Yuko. Played with Sage. Went to the peddler's mall with Alex, and then had dinner with her family. Stayed over there for a while, talking with her and her parents. I really like them a lot, and they're so welcoming.

All in all, it's been a wonderful, full day. Settling in for the night with Doctor Who. I adore Matt Smith as the Doctor.
