Here's the much-anticipated (at least for some of you) link to:

:--the travel blog--:For those of you who don't already know, I'll be studying abroad in Bonn for six weeks (and getting six hours of credit!) and posting updates to that blog. It's just more convenient b/c I can integrate everything into yahoo!: mail, pictures, blog, news, and so ( Read more... )

This is inspired by Yun's post, so it's kind of a response to it ( Read more... )

Hey there, y'all. So it's been awhile, hasn't it? For those of you who don't know, I just got back from Germany with Cornerstone (honors grp I'm in) and celebrated the big one-eight Friday night. It's funny, I was legal drink and yet nobody checked my ID simply because it's Deutschland and they don't give a flip, which I guess makes it even better ( Read more... )

Burn was last night. In all honesty, that is one of the most beautiful sights I've ever been personal witness too. Maybe I'm a pyro, but fire is entrancing. The night was chilly, but within seconds of the stack being lit I could feel the infrared radiation, even though I was hundreds of feet away. I love Bonfire. It's a shame that it isn't on ( Read more... )

Standing for 4 hours sure wears my legs out ( Read more... )

So classes are canceled for Friday (if I could whoop I would) and the game vs. Texas State is tomorrow at 7:30. Crazy, but good. Apparently we've got a Cat 5 on our hands that's got 165 mph winds and is still going to increase in strength over the next 24 hours. It's the 3rd largest hurricane in the Atlantic in all of recorded history, folks. ( Read more... )

I'm heading to fish camp in 2 hours!!! I finally get to see the awe that is Lakeview and start, really start the freshman experience. I'm pulling an all-nighter because friends were over until 2 am and I'm still packing as we speak, so driving will be interesting with no sleep. I'll just blast the music and rock out while watching the sunrise. I'm ( Read more... )

So July came and went. I'm not really sure what happened to June, either. Everything is mushed together into one big blob of memories beginning with prom and dwindling until (I'm hypothesizing here) August 21. Time to make a list. I'll try to elaborate on the details, so at least they'll be documented somewhere ( Read more... )

Apparently Katie is going through menopause. Katie being Katie Krystyniak of Houston, Texas whom I've known since elementary school. By the way, she's 17 and awesome. And she's also fat. And sassy. And a consumer whore. And how ( Read more... )

...and I'd just like to say that I am perfectly satisfied with life right now. After a lot of random shit the past few years, major as well as minor, I think the drama's receded. I have more control over what happens to me, partly because I've taken up a lot of responsibilities and partly because past experiences have taught me that I have to be ( Read more... )
