Start Over

Today I got back from my tour of Western. Overall, I was impressed with the campus and things it has to offer. The biggest disappointments of SummerStart were being extremely low on sleep, feeling sick, and not getting registered for the classes I wanted. But in the end, I am glad I went, and am excited to go there in the fall.

SummerStarting

Today I am at Western Washington University for a freshman program called SummerStart. It is a two day program, meaning I spend the night tonight. It has been a long day, starting at 5:40am, on less than 5 hours of sleep, to get here before 10:00am. I have learned some important things, but I am all seminared out.

Unplain Plane Trip

Today I drove my sister to the airport. She is going to spend ten days down south in California. After dropping her off at the airport and helping her check in, we left. Our car was very low on gas. As in the gas light was on so long, it wasn't funny. After driving until the tank was dangerously low trying to find gas, we finally found a gas station.

We also stumbled across and Ikea, so we stopped there. I was probably six the last time I went to Ikea, and only vaguely remember the food and play area. We had fun looking around. What was not as fun, was spending over 30 minutes trying to get what we bought in the car. We finally ended up getting it to fit by opening the box and moving parts around and having nobody in the passenger's seat. I hope my sister has fun in California, but I *know she will.

*know as in I am 97.2% sure she will

Blog Off

Today I came the closest I ever have to not blogging. I have not missed a single day in the over a year this blog has existed. So what caused me to almost not blog? Was it a mad dash to get home before midnight, computer problems, a strange illness, or somethings else?

No, nothing of that sort. I simply nearly forgot to blog. I was on my way to bed, and didn't even think about blogging. This is the first time I can remember this happening. Maybe it is the start of something new, maybe I won't blog everyday. Whatever the cause of my forgetfulness, I am glad I was able to blog and keep my consecutive days without a miss streak alive for at least one more day.

Thanks

After being gone for over three weeks, it will take a while to adjust to being back at home. It is nice to be home, but it was also nice to be in Oregon. I had a great time.

Thanks for having me at the farm cousins and family, and on the fishing trip other cousins and family. It was nice to take a break from TV and the internet while I was gone, and to start reading more. Thanks also goes to my mom for posting a picture a day while I was gone, and to my aunt (and uncle a few times) for taking the pictures.
