| So this is my generic farewell & explanation for my absence on AIM, Facebook, and just everywhere for those of you that forget/don't know whats going on with me this summer. I will have virtually no internet access this summer, so you're best bet at reaching me is in the evening via my cell phone.
All year I've been co-directing the Hopkins 4K for Cancer, a summerlong philanthropic bike trip across the country that unites communities in the fight against cancer by raising funds, spreading awareness, and fostering hope. Sunday, May 25th, I will depart Baltimore with our lovely team of 25 riders and 3 drivers on our adventure. We'll cross the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco on July 26th. I will be back in Ohio August 1st, working at the City of Dublin day camps, and will return to Baltimore the week of August 25th.
Along the way we will stay mostly at churches, and occasionally at YMCAs, school gyms, dorms, and even camp once or twice. Our hosts are awesome and generally provide us with food, and along the way we do various volunteer projects, participate in ACS Relay for Life, and give cancer awareness presentations.
If you want to visit us on our way, check out our route! (Red dots are days off)
www.hopkins4k.org is a good place to check for updates/picture postings as well during the Summer.
I hope everyone has an awesome Summer, and I want to know all about what ya'll are doing so messsage, text, email me, whatever! I would love to hear from you :)

If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair ::.. | | |
| Not: Calling your ex to "talk" because you think she's your best shot at getting laid over break
Hot: Calling up your rarely seen super good friend for a coffee date to catch up Not: Having your friends see your Mom in her Granny Panties
Hot: Seeing you friends hot brother in his boxers Not: Wool Sweaters
Hot: Thermal Underwear Shirts Not: itchy dry winter skin
Hot: baby oil and cream lotion rub downs ....more to come! I need to see like 10 more people and then I'm ready to go back to Hopkins!
so excited for Intersession shananigans! Listen close enough
all else fades

| 1. I'm really worried about you right now. I hope you're okay... I love you so much. I had a great time with you this weekend, and I hope we have many more (even AFTER I leave you to go back to school. but one of us needs to get an education to provide for the family, yes?). 2. I don't know what to do either, if it's any consolation. 3. I can't believe you. Your cluelessness is honestly making me angry at this point. Fortunately I find it funnier than infuriating... haha hm. 4. I'm going to miss you next year. Hopefully we still see lots of eachother though! 5. I'm so glad you're happy in a good, healthy relationship now  I don't really know him, but I like him more than the others thus far. haha 6. I love you, so much. Almost as much as I love that fact that we're always close whether we talk every day or once every three months. PS - I know you'll look hott in your goddess dress this weekend  7. How ironic. How horribly ironic I read a touching story about a man with a cowboy hat in the season of the annual meteor shower that marks a milestone in both of our lives. I miss you - but I know that we've both moved on to be just fine without eachother. I didn't think that could ever happen, but I'm still thankful and greatful and in awe when I remember you and our time together. There's nothing I would change except the events of our goodbye. But most good love stories aren't complete without a tragicly magnificent ending, aren't they? But, it's okay now. I used to tell myself, "it'll all be okay in the end. If its not okay then it's not the end." The end was reached long ago, but I still don't think I've fully said goodbye yet. 8. I hope we don't stop trying. It's the trying that sets us apart. And only by trying will we get back to everything that makes us great  9. Hahaha, so seriously. We need to get better at seeing eachother. This is getting almost ridiculous. You're the only person that I'm in close proximity with year round. Com'on. <3 10. This summer has reminded me how little we really know about eachother. Well, I don't really mean that. We both exclude the details a lot, but thats okay. Because the details are just details. I don't need to know everything little thing about you to know that I love you, endlessly, and that you'll always be one of my favorites. Just don't forget that you'll always have a home with me... | | |
| I finished the book about 6 hours ago... I can't help but feel like a part of me is missing. I've been reading these books since they first came out - and I've basically been awaiting the next upcoming Harry Potter book almost every day for the last seven years. (And as most of us HP fans know... seven is the most magical number....) I'm not going to say anything that happened here... but PLEASE - everyone talk to me as you are reading or once you have finished. I'm dying to discuss everything.... I pretty much cried the whole way through the book. Even the small misfortunes set me off blubbering.... But oh my god - what a good book. Again, Rowling weaved a beautiful story that was a genuine pleasure to read and explore. I only wish there was more to the epilogue and more about Teddy. | | |
| So I'm writing an entry, just because I can! I started waitressing (for real) this week at Max&Erma's off Frantz Road! Its been fun, although slightly overwhelming at times. I still like it though! Making pretty good money, so its a fun [second] summer job! I had my first table not tip me yesterday (harsh, yes, for my second shift ever. Especially because I did nothing wrong and the kitchen was just backed up bc it was the end of the night... so I guess they blamed me for the fact they had to wait for their food to be cooked. whatevs.) I like all the people I work with too - which is essential. I've always had fun at work so far! But yah, if you want to visit, I work Sunday lunch (11-3ish) and Monday/Tuesday dinner from 5:30-9ish! I have my final bit of training for Dublin on Thursday. I swear, I have the sweetest summer deal on jobs. I get to be a day camp councilor by day - and do all the things that I want to do but am too old too, such as laser tag, bowling, playing at the pool, art&crafts time.... hahah AND get paid for it! And then by night I get to waitress! I got a new digital camera today, finally. It's super cute I love it! Hmm, guess thats all I have for now. It's nice to be home, but I miss my friends at Hopkins... I can't wait to go back in the Fall! Live with my girls, visit my boys' pimp pad, and then go watch my Abby&Aphi soccer stars! And of course VincentWillard 300 family dinners. <3 my WoMo. I'm going to miss her next year  Hopefully we'll live together again sometime in the future. Or at least visit eachother all the time. She keeps me sane Too bad my big is abandoning me in the Fall... haha It's okay. I'm sure that just means more fun trips down to DC with the bigbig! Recap:
1. I'm enjoying waitressing
2. ALWAYS tip your servers. There may be an exception, sometimes, but pretty much you always should.
3. Being a day camp councilor = being paid to be a kid = sweet deal
4. I made the best friends this past year and I miss them all dearly | | |
