Chacos

After much personal debate I finally let myself order a pair of the famous, durable Chacos. Travelcountry.com is my go to site for things of this sort, such great deals. The sandals came in the mail today. I look forward to many kayak, canoe, and hiking trips with these new friends. I also look forward to much relief when making the long walk home from a tiring (maybe rainy) day of classes. Welcome to my life, Chacos.

Say a prayer.

My heart goes out to the families of victims of 9/11. God bless.

Roommates

This is a photo of my roommates, Lindsey and Katie, & I.
I love them both so much but we are all very, very different
people with different hobbies, beliefs, hopes, and dreams.
We have about 12 more months left in this apartment's lease.
This next year will be an interesting journey with these ladies.

English 363: An Introduction to Poetry

Vigo

Thousands of miles from home,
a journal to occupy the mind.
Forget responsibilities, reservations.
Enjoy sweet, chunky sangria.
On a rusty, wobbly porch with traffic below-
I hear Edith Piaf.
Bear snores inside.
Writing, tripping-over nothing.
An adolescence with firm beliefs.
Many disbeliefs.
On a cot, thirsting for companionship.
Crying. Smiling. Pass out.

NOLA

New Orleans: just might be the most amazing, magical, and most fun u.s. city that i have visited thusfar in my life. such a combination of cultures and all kinds of people coming together for one common goal: to enjoy life.

With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?
-Oscar Wilde

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
