Ah, while going on trips is a great way to get away from the usual things on your mind, you inevitably always have to come back.
That being said, I just got home the other day from Philadelphia. For 5 days I got a little bit of a taste of the freedom that will soon be mine when I go off to college. 25 school days to go, but who's counting?! So over the trip I did a little bit of everything; symphony, lectures in Penn clases, club meetings, art museum, world class library, Rodin Museum, shopping with the girls, hockey with the guys, frat parties, Penn traditions, placing third in a Halo tournament held at a frat party, looking at brown dwarves through high-powered telescopes, and also visiting with my brother. It was a gorgeous kind of weekend; warm but not hot, light breeze, perfect sky. It did give me pause about what could have been, but I tried not to think about that more than I could help.
