I feel like nothing particularly explosive or revolutionary happened this year. Looking back, here is a list of things. I think I'm usually not all that fond of lists like this, but I just decided to make one. I have no idea. So here's some things. I'm not sure what their significance is.
- I decided to doom my next 3 years of college by remaining an engineering major. But at least its computer engineering so its less sucky?
- I dated a pretty cool girl. We're not dating anymore, but we've avoided for the most part post-dating awkwardness, hatred, threats on eachother's lives, etc., so it worked out okay and we're still good friends.
- Much to my chagrine, I worked on the farm again. I tried to get a different job, but I couldn't find one. Positive bonus of living on a farm: you always have a job to fall back on. Negative bonus of living on a farm: you always have a job to fall back/get roped into every break from school.
- My two best friends and I went on a roadtrip. One of those legitimate ones you see in movies. Except ours was probably a lot less adventurous and debaucherous than those. But I think we had more fun. Go look at our pictures on facebook. Permission to stalk granted.
- Drove through South Dakota, Wyoming, and the eastern side of Montana. Turns out, there's a reason almost no one lives there.
- Visited a friend in Montana
- Stayed in Glacier National Park for a few days. That was fantastic. Probably the most beautiful setting in the world. Gorgeous. Also, camping was fun. Bouncy, bouncy, bouncy. There's an inside joke we'll be talking about when we're 80.
- Moved on to Kennewick, Washington to visit then-girlfriend. The ugly side of Washington, but it was a fun visit
- visited BJ's brother in Lynden. I also cliff-jumped for the first time. That was cold, but definitely awesome. One of the highlights of the trip
- Visited my roommate from freshman year in Mt. Vernon. We relaxed and did some boating. This was an awesome close to the trip.
- Drove back straight through to get home. 30 hours?
- Seriously, one of the best things in my whole life. Over 4,000 miles of driving, but it was well worth it. There was so much craziness and seriousness all jumbled together in 9 days. All the laughs and memories trekking cross-country with Bj and Trevor will stay with me forever. This is gunna be one of those stories my kids hear a lot of.
- Returned to college and met some more people, did some stuff, learned a little..the usual
- I can't think of anything else exciting or interesting, which means I must be either boring or forgetful. It was a good year, and I'm looking forward to the new one. I'm sure there will be plenty of exciting occurences, and so far there's already quite a bit of traveling planned, which makes me excited for more adventures. Thanks for reading this year and keep coming back.
- That feels like a very cheesy way to end this blog. And a cheesy way to begin the year. Oh well.
