So, made it back from Edinburgh just fine. Since then there's been parties, ultimate games and practices, oregon country fair, da vinci days, work, lots of reading, chill time with friends, and i don't even know what all else. Just being with people has been wonderful, things change, but i think that for the most part, the essential, true qualites ( Read more... )

hey friends ~ we've made it to Edinburgh! we're exhausted, sore, and ready to be home, but we've got a few days left, so we're going to try to make the best of them.

Life is totally crazy right now. I have WAY too much to do and definitely not enough time to do it all in. Classes continue to be a frustrating combination of insultingly easy and boring enough that it's hard to care. Ultimate is winding down w/not much to practice for, so it's pretty low key.
