I finished all my finals. I feel good. I'm still here until Tuesday though because Pamela has to stay. Then she and I are driving to Oregon. We'll stay there a 5 or 6 days or so. Then my mom is flying up and she'll drive home with me. I should be home by Friday May 23rd, but maybe not until Saturday the 24th. Then I'll be home a week and I'm ( Read more... )

Hey everyone,
This morning Pamela and I got engaged! It was simple and nice. I woke her up with flowers and took her to the park and did it on a nice little bridge. I was really nervous. We're really excited.

There was an Iron and Wine concert here which was ( Read more... )

We just had our banquet which was pretty controversial. I was extremely nervous and I even had to speak in front of 150 of the most critical students. I just got back to my apartment and my roommate ( Read more... )

I just listened to the Damien Jurado song "Medication" and cried. Life is really hard in some ways right now. My dad is not doing well at all. My aunt too. Both are having some the of the worst times of their lives right now and they feel helpless ( Read more... )

I'm am getting pretty busy. My classes have a lot of reading and the conference I've been a part of planning since August is happening in just two weeks. There's really a lot more too. I think there's a good chance that these next few months will be a time in my life that I will look back on and remember well and probably be proud of myself for ( Read more... )
