The Sun Comes Up And We Start Again

Update time!

So last Friday I got back from my awesome trip with Sarah! We went from Northfield through South Dakota, Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon to Washington. Then back from Washington through Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and home! We went through the Badlands, stayed in the Black Hills (most beautiful campground we saw!), then to Yellowstone, then to Hell's Canyon, and stayed with my friend Erica for a couple of days. Then we went out to Coeur D'Alene, then to Glacier National Park, then drove for 15 hours to Teddy Roosevelt National Park, and finally, home.

We took a bunch of pictures, but I'm FAR to busy (and also lazy) to post them all online just now, so you'll have to be content with just one. :-)


It's Sarah and me at a waterfall in Oregon! Yay!

But now I'm back, and I've become addicted to this fellow called Mason Jennings, who's from Minnesota, and his music is brilliant. Sarah introduced me en route, and I can't get enough. Same can be said of the Shins record, "Wincing the Night Away." And I plan to listen to these things while packing.

Packing for Maddie and my move in to our new place on Saturday! Exciting! It'll be nice to settle in in our new place and have a few days to get organized before classes start. And classes! Wow, I'm gonna be busy this semester! But I think I've said that before.

So, other big news. Let's see.

I got an external hard drive that I'm happy about because that means I can back up all my music before my computer dies, which is looking to be soon. I'm hoping it'll last through this year before it goes totally to pot. Apperently lap tops are only designed to work for about four years before giving up the ghost.

And that's about it, as far as I can remember. I'm still trying to decide what to be when I grow up, but that's an on going project.
