friday 1/25: last day of quarter, left school at 10 am, went home, went to the airport (philly), flew to pittsburgh with my mom and met my dad out there, drove many long hours to a small town in west virginia, went out to eat at the cracker barrel (it was the only restaurant in town besides 2 strip clubs...) went to sleep.

saturday 1/26: woke up around six, showered, drove many more long hours to get to Ohio U, arrived early for an interview, talked with all the photojournalism people who were extremely awesome, had my interview (it went really well, I think.), toured the campus, talked some more, drove drove drove to the airport in columbus, ohio, flew into philly, drove home. 24 hour day. literally. i stayed up the rest of the night talking until 6 am. It was a good time.

sunday 1/27: woke up at 10 after minimal hours of sleep, hung around for most of the day, went to Tulio's house around four, watched Children of Men (it was as good as I remembered), then Blunder met us there and we all went to a diner. I got french toast, yum. We went back to Tulio's house and watched Brokeback Mountain, haha. Now I am here. My eyes are tired from starring at this computer all night last night. Well worth it though.

For the future:

-Tomorrow new classes start. I have it pretty easy. Last quarter involved a lot of work, four academic classes was tough, but I pretty much did better than any other quarter out of all four years at high school (surprising and good!). I have Oil Painting, AP Geography, Health/Gym, and Media Lit.
-Boston trip is in the planning stages for this month. Probably/definitely presidents weekend!
-I hear from Ohio before February 15th
-It's going to be semi-warm this week. Bikesssss :)

another year gone. wowza. went by really fast. i was looking at photos from the new years eve party last year and it feels like it could have been a few weeks ago. time flies when you're having fun, and the past year has been full of many many many fun times. i've met people who have change my life, explored incredible abandoned places including houses, schools, factories, steel mills, and multiple asylums, traveled out of the country twice; quebec and spain, traveled to florida, to california, ohio, upstate New York, and have countless memories from the past summer. Thank you to everyone who has made my year what it was, you're all amazing.
