I realize I said I was going to keep this more up to date, and well, it's pretty obvious how that turned out. But I meant to, I swear! It's been a rather hectic month in the life of The Cactus, as I would call myself if I were inclined to being pretentious. I was in Georgia for a week, during which I went to Six Flags Over Georgia with my cousins, (Go Batman, go Batman, go!!) got my senior pictures taken, and toured Emory and Georgia Tech, both very good schools.
After that, I was home for a week, and then off to California, for a maternal family reunion and early celebration of my grandmother's birthday. As she pointed out, it was the first time all of us had been together since the last reunion, ten years ago in Germany. While we were in the bay area, we drove up to Berkeley for a tour, and went home through San Francisco. Something about Berkeley just appealed to me, and I would love to attend school there. It doesn't hurt that it's so close to San Francisco. Despite being a fan of heat and humidity, (I know, I know. Completely crazy.) I love the weather there, the fact that it doesn't get too cold, despite what Mark Twain says about it. The City has unmistakable character and charm.
After I got home from California, I was home for just about twelve hours before heading up to the mountains for leadership camp. It was a fun weekend of hiking, leadership and yelling. The week after was band camp, five days of surprisingly exhausting conducting. School started this week. Here's to hoping senior year is good and fun, despite being hard. And here's to hoping I remember to update when I say I will.
