I get to go to Woodinville tomorrow to watch the dogs! I'm trying to keep upbeat so I can convince myself I'll enjoy driving down there and spending time in Woodinville away from my friends in Bellingham. While there, I get to do homework! But luckily I've spent most of today revising an essay, so I don't have to do that ( Read more... )

I think I want to go bungee jumping for my 23rd birthday.

I'm back in Bellingham. I probably have stories if I can think of what they are. I go back to school tomorrow but it doesn't start until Tuesday.

I finally finished Atlas Shrugged. It took me three months, but I'm done.

I begin my journey to Ohio tomorrow, but I don't fly out until Friday morning. Here is what my vacation will be like:
