recap

hmm... obviously i'm not so good at this blogging thing. then again, what's the point of doing a blog when nobody reads it right? haha.. thanks noon, and youngmi, and the other random people who for some crazy reason actually read this...

lets rewind a bit.

ok. so, last semester of college was bittersweet. relaxed, hung out, and then worked my butt off. i spent my birthday in the library trying to do a year's worth of work in a month. But finished my thesis and so i celebrated by going to ac. won about $300. spent a week at the beach. graduated. got an award For my thesis and got $50 Cash Money, Holler. spent three weeks studying for lsats. took it and got a lower score than i did the first time i took it. left for europe the next day. flew into zurich, then went to prague, berlin, amsterdam, brussels, paris, biarritz, madrid, barcelona, nice, and then flew out of zurich. during the three weeks i lost my camera, slept next to a smelly german on a train, my train pass was "not valid", found out how different and delicious real belgian waffles are, found out how good european beer actually is, found out that i am fat compared to 99% of the european population, french people really are more beautiful than us and dress better than us, hung out with a reality tv star for a day, slept in a bathroom, saw the spanish national team in madrid after they won the eurocup, churros in spain are served with a cup of chocolate and yes it is as good as it sounds, went to a market where they sell goat heads, fell in love with kabobs, and realized that if i ever come back to europe, i am Not going to go there with dudes. the whole place is way to beautiful and romantic to spend it alone. after europe, i came back, went to robert and tammy's beautiful wedding, danced with fobber, went to colorado for a week for KASe, spent two weeks in nova doing nothing but eating, watching movies, and eating some more and slowly watched as me and youngmi got fatter. then i spent a week and a half in new york where i continued my habit of overeating and rekindled my love with karaoke, then i finally came home. helped out with my youth group. got all of the kids to cry on the last night (Great success). and then continued my habit of overeating while staying at home. went to smith mountian lake for a week with family. then saw friends at uva and nova again. and now i'm back at home.

Which brings me back here to the present. where i am continuing my habit of overeating. at the end of the summer, i am officially now 210 pounds of good-lookin. you can't get any better lookin than this.

and now on the 28th of this month, i'll be leaving for Mozambique as a Peace Corps volunteer to teach English. i'll spend three months training which will consist of learning the culture, history, teaching skills, and portuguese. then i'll be sent to the place where i'll be stationed for 2 years. i guess more on that later.

but for a now, a picture is worth a thousand words right? and so, here are some pics from the last few months.
