Update

Here it is, the end of the semester. We did it. We made it through our first year of college, and we're alive! We're also National Champions... we just like to throw that in any chance we get, but who wouldn't? This is the last stretch, it seems like it should be so simple, a few papers, tests, packing, and then homeward bound, California here we come! But this is so far from reality it's insane. As always, all the professors have assigned pretty big projects and or papers right around the same time, so we've all been fairly busy. And as if preparing for finals paired with finishing projects wasn't enough, Thursday April 9th, 2009 a fellow CHS Grad, Courtney Stewart was killed in a drunk driving accident in Fullerton California, along with Angels Pitcher Nick Adenhart. When I heard the news, I was completely in shock. All the little random memories of Courtney came flooding into my mind... Like the time Jeremy and I forged a love note from Courtney and put it in Ridge's car... good times. It's weird how the taking of life changes little things. As some of you may be aware of, I'm not really a fan of the color pink in excess, or at all, but on Thursay April 16th, 2009, I'm going to be wearing pink in honor of Courtney since I won't be able to attend her funeral that same day. Courtney will be missed, and my prayers go out to her and her friends and family, and I hope you can include her in your prayers as well.
Well, apart from the less-than-happy news, all is well in Buena Vista, Virginia. We are just awaiting May 1st, 3rd, and 5th.... days we fly home! Until next time...
