Yesterday, I ran with the team to GVP and realized that was where I used to run in high school. Yesterday, I met Lea and others at orientation and we all laughed at the poor girl for her follies. Yesterday, I hugged my parents and walked toward my new home. Today, four years have passed. I suppose that I have seen the whole campus now. I have seen the other side of the world now. Pretty amazing how much can happen in a day. ?Life moves pretty fast. If you don?t stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it.? ? Ferris Bueller, 1986. So now I am moving on.

Benny BEEE!! Wood boys, I have enjoyed Thursdays (drunk or not, Jeffy). Mama, Papa and Doogie, don?t worry, I?ll be back someday ? after I hit all seven continents. I?m going to Disney World! (Well, maybe not, but it was a nice try.)
