It's Been A While, Pt. 2

It has definitely been a while since I've blogged... perhaps I should do this on a regular basis?? Hmm...

Anyways, I just got back from a wonderfully long 2-week trip on the East Coast with my family, which had two goals: have fun, and visit colleges. What colleges, you say? Well I'm glad you asked. I visited Johns Hopkins (Baltimore, MD), Yale (New Haven, CT), Brown (Providence, RI), and Harvard (Cambridge, MA)... all lovely schools with much to offer. Out of pure luck, I was able to score a last-minute interview at Yale, which was pretty cool... not like I'm gonna get into any of them :PP Aside from the pure academia stuff you all know I love (ha ha), we visited all the famous sites like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Times Square in NYC, Empire State Building, White House, Capitol Building, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Independence Hall... the list goes on and on. It was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot of history (it should be review, but I forgot it all xD). Also had some wonderful food, mostly Italian and Chinese :D My trumpet section was really happy that I got them the "I love New York" T-shirts... that'll be our marching band uniform!! :]

Other than thatttt... my fingers hurt as I type, because: 1, a ton of mosquitos bit me IN THE SAME PLACE and turned my right pinky and eventually half my hand into a giant balloon that I bled to get the poison out; and 2, my calluses vanished arrrr. It hurts to play guitar now.

So while most people would say FML at the point I am right now, I'm not really feeling that... yes, there ARE low points in one's life and I tend to get emotional about it, but life itself is a blessing, and I find those blessings every day. God is truly good to me, and perhaps I take that for granted... just some food for thought. I do encourage everyone who's gotten into the habit of saying or thinking "FML" to say "LML"; love my life! :]
