Driving in a car will get you somewhere

Arrived into Philadelphia on Friday morning at 8am, where I took over as driver and escorted my mom to Vermont. On the way we encountered the small issue that the bridge to Vermont no longer exists... and is now replaced with two ferries.

My trip to Vermont was centered around this race... that someone thought would be a good idea for me to do. However, that someone got injured running the month before and could no longer run this race with me... which already kind of set the tone for Sunday morning. So, this is me at mile 5. Pretty happy, and on pace for a sub 4-hour marathon

This is me at mile 10

I don't want to go into details on why I did not finish the marathon, but I will say that it included 2 vanilla Gu's, 1 cow, 2 drag queens, Howard Dean and my hip.

So today, we got back in the car and drove 8 hours to Bar Harbor where we will spend the next three days exploring Acadia National Park. I expect nothing less then awe inspiring greatness.

Hi!

Im starting this thing essentially so my parents know where I am... and to refute all claims that I am going to a "hippy school."

So, I'll be posting updates throughout the next year. This will include my time at Western this summer as it prepares me for moving into my new digs in Diablo at NCI (North Cascades Institute) this September.

If you're curious about the Institute and where i'll be living and going to school for the next year or so, you can check it out here:

If you're interested in the program i'll be enrolled in through Western, you can check that out here:
