This morning I spent walking on the cliffs near our apt. I am going to miss my walks here! I was trying to soak in every bird, ice plant, etc a long the way.

So I am really happy that I am now out of school for almost three months. I'm not looking forward to the big move, but it's always better once you've moved - the process of actually moving is what sucks. Anyway, I still have quite some time before we have to get outta here. Until then, I'm goi...  read more

This could have been one of the best summers of my life.  We went to Florida for the first time, went to DisneyWorld...and other stuff I can't remember.  Then it happened: We moved.  Yeah, moved away from the only friends I had, my childhood home (which really wasn't too bad. ...  read more

I'm done with cookie-cutter apartments built on sprawl and now renting a small home near Duke's East Campus, where there are lots of pretty areas to walk Herman, and I'm just two miles from work.
