Things...
I have been thinking of what to add to this post most of the summer, so I suppose it is finally time to write it. The following are things I learned while in Texas. (I will probably add as I think of more).
** Disclaimer: As it has been pointed out to me numerous times this summer I am “clearly not from Texas”… In fact, before May 19, 2011 I never once stepped foot in Texas. I...
"But if you never try, you'll never know"
My apologies to my blog readers (aka mom and dad) for the lack of updates. So here it goes… fitting over a month into one probably long update.
So to start out, A&M updates.
As I kind of anticipated, I have absolutely fallen in love with this school. Even though some people challenged my decision to do my internship at a large school, I feel as though my experience here has really...

Weekend in College Station
This was my first long weekend in College Station. I didn’t have many plans and wasn’t sure what I would do, but overall it was a great weekend.
Highlights of the weekend include (unfortunately without pictures, I must get better at documented this):

I have a better idea of what I will be doing this summer, and while I...

To back track a bit, as a I just got the pictures from mom… here are some pictures form the start of my journey. First of all, I must admit that I was not expecting to make such amazing friends as at ISU. Some of the members of...
Driving-- Day 1
Well, I survived my first long driving adventure. Before the 500 + miles I drove today (from Normal to Catoosa, OK) I hadn’t driven for more than two hours. I didn’t take any pictures since I drove the entire way, but I’m sure there will be pictures at the Texas border tomorrow.
Currently I am in the hotel, of course freezing (anyone who has traveled with my dad will know...
