the summer has only begun
Well, hello there, guys! This begins my first update of the summer, which has been going pretty much swell lately. I landed home, saw my parents and pets, met up with my old friends, visited my alma mater, read lots of books and watched lots of movies, and soaked up the beginning of the summer.
Oh, and I turned eighteen. A long story cut short, I skipped kindergarten and as a result, became the youngest student in my class until college. I went to my high school senior prom at the tender age of sixteen and entered college at seventeen. All I can say is that I’m thrilled that I’m finally eighteen.
May 19th was when it was at, and it was very mellow, eating lunch with my former interpreter who has the same birthday, going to the Seattle Mariner’s game with my mom, and eating scrumptious desserts at a café afterwards with yet other friends. It was fun and I enjoyed my well-deserved turn in becoming an adult.
Like I said earlier, my summer has only begun, and I’ve got lots of things to do before I hightail it out of town back to DC August 12. I’ve got to enroll into two classes at the local community college, where I’ll be taking psychology and American history. I figured this would be a cheaper and convenient way to get rid of those pesky prerequisites for my double major. Then I’ll be going to the NAD conference at the end of June in Palm Springs, California. As a member of the College Bowl development team, I get a free trip to go watch our College Bowl pros go at it against RIT and CSUN as well as prepare for my own turn in 2008.
After that, it’s just back to schooling and having fun with my summer when it lasts. I’ll end up this entry with some pictures, as always.
Just what it looks like, a photo snapped at Safeco Field, the home turf for the Seattle Mariners.
My mom and I at the edge of the seating area. We snagged great tickets up in row 8 for my birthday.
Cynthia and Julie, friends that we were surprised to run across, attending the baseball game on the same night. It was fun to catch up with them, as well as sitting with them in the first row for a while.
The sunset that night was phenomenal, and just had to snap a picture with my trusty camera.
As always, thanks for reading!
con amistad, tyler
