and finally done!

finished up my program around 12 - i'm very happy to be done with it. in the end, it turns out to not be too terribly difficult, mainly just hard because of all the time i spent distracted doing other stuff :(.

i don't know if my days are truly more stressful, or if i'm just getting older, or out of shape, or not eating properly, but it really seems like i appreciate my sleep more and more every day. what's more, i get more and morn worn out. either way, i'm going to bed :).


not much exciting happening - thinking/hoping to take a 1 or 2 weeks trip out east with lindz this summer, pretty excited about the prospect. mainly just camping, hiking, seeing new york (ny), possibly visiting ian in ithaca along the way. its definitely going to happen, its just a question of when.

my trip to Belize has been schedule now. it doesn't look like i'll get a chance to backpack around however, as we are going from the 12-22, and for now i'm going to assume i start work on the 29th - i want to get home and have some time to get ready for work (again, assuming i get the research spot at Hope).

another trip i'm really looking forward to: right before school starts, kev, nick and i (and hopefully lindz and who knows who else) are hopefully going to backpack across isle royal. nick and kev did it last year by themselves, but hopefully i'll be able to go this year. it sounds like a pretty incredible time. i know they have lots of stories from last year - memorable no doubt.


that's about it. night all. <3
