I should have spaced these shots out to make them a bit more dramatic, but….it was quite the process. We all hate having to move out of our rooms at Princeton, especially if we are moving into the exact same room (like I am) in the fall. But…there is something to be said for the process of packing, sorting, throwing away and moving stuff. Therapeutic in a sense…but, of course, I can only say that now that it’s done. I was definitely bitching about it through the process.
But I jumped on a plane today, and I’m sitting here in Spokane, WA right now, getting ready to spend the weekend attending graduation activities (all of which I went through only…3 years ago) at Whitworth. I passed through the land of Dooce, as I caught a connection in Salt Lake City earlier this evening.
My sister and her boyfriend picked me up, and now I’m about ready to hit the sack. I’m looking forward to a crazy summer…oh, what am I doing you ask? Well…let me tell you. For some reason, I like to make my summers look like this – activity to activity to activity…and they are sometimes tiring, but always wonderful; anyway, here goes:
