hello all, long time no type.
i haven't been too extremely busy but i have been doing a lot of different things. i think this might be my last entry of the summer before going back to school. (i'm going back early this saturday to get things settled and have a few lessons before classes start on the....22nd! oh man. so soon!) since i last wrote i have been on a road trip to go camping in allegany (samuel L jackson road like a dream, thank to the nice men at the vanderstyne toyota repair shop. i would recommend that dealer to anyone) and also to philadelphia, land of brotherly love, to visit none other than my brother. (and his new wife shari:) ) i was thinking about this on the ride home and i don't know if it's just the people we happened to come in contact with..and i don't mean to offend anyone with this comment...but out of fredonia, rochester, buffalo, nyc, syracuse, orlando, madrid, erie, sevilla, boston and any other cities i have been too...the people in philadelphia seemed to be the rudest. now maybe i am just a sensitive suburban chick, but even in NY, my favorite city ever, and supposedly known for its not so pleasant inhabitants, i found a lot nicer people in my few trips there. but i will definitely be back to philadelphia to visit scott again, so i will see if it was just a fluke. other than the people though, it was a very nice place, i really enjoyed it. any place that involves george washington and ben franklin is o.k. in my book.
besides traveling around i have been doing a lot of work. school work more these past few weeks than target work. i havent been getting too many hours lately. but i did get a chance to finish a lot of choral arranging and make headway on piano and voice. if i can only keep it up i might just make it before the semester begins.
i really cannot believe the summer is almost over. for me i felt it was very productive, not so much a vacation, but i can live with that. cause soon i will be back at school, with my new house and favorite roomies, a wonderful boyfriend, and ...oh so much work. but i think i am ready for it. at least i hope i am:)
because i couldnt resist, here are a few pics from that land of bells
dad entering crazy tunnel
this is my mom explaining what the white bracelet means that me her and megan have been wearing "awareness"
scott and shari!
you really weren't allowed to take photos but i couldn't resist. what a cute george washington
dad and scott
dad kept telling us he was a descendent of benjamin franklin. he then said he wanted to have a tattoo of him printed on his face. i think this may have crossed into obession
crazy sky wouldnt ya say
such a liberty. such a bell
such a crack
im pretty sure this building had something to do with the continental congress. but then again, i could very well be wrong
i bet george washington saw this tree once
shari tells us this is the house used on last season's real world
scotty and abraham lincoln
and with that i must sleep. goodnight lovlies:) see some of you in fredonia!
