Too much for words...

My Oh My!

School's done, Romania, a week in Ogilvie...

It would be impossible to convey even a portion of the excitement I have been feeling.

Many things make me happy.

I am happy.

Happy Happy Happy.

One week ago, I woke up in Bucharest.

Now I am back here, and fully enjoying myself, while missing Augsburg. Actually, I am exhausted with too many social engagements. Not that the engagements haven't been awesome, because they have been... I just need to chill.

Here's dad to pick me up. More later?

One Year Older

Nineteen Years ago Today...

It is an absolutely perfect day for a birthday... But I am inside.

Perfect.

My Birthday celebrations began EARLY this morning at Keith's - which was a great success. I went to bed really late, and slept until Noon. Now I am eating my birthday lunch of day old Jimmy John's bread, BBQ chips and Root beer. I really don't think there would be a better way to celebrate. No where else I'd rather be at least.

I have so much to do between now and tomorrow, but by tomorrow, I will be on a plane across the sea.

My root beer is gone...

Finals week was an exciting one... not all positive, but now, it is all done, and it is summer. I am here, on this deserted campus... all mine. It is so quiet.

Besides laundry and packing I am going to read some books, hang out with friends, and enjoy this lovely day. One day closer to being a "grown-up" whatever that means. Almost two decades...

That reminds me of a ponder I had yesterday. Yesterday with Fred and Colin I thought about how last year I had no idea what I would be doing for my 19th birthday, and how I never could have imagined it accurately. What did I do for my 18th birthday? I don't even remember. All I recall is being excited to sign legal documents. I will remember this one.
