Aches

Monday was my last day at home. It was a very nostalgic day.

- I went up to my former community college and felt sad about the piles of rubble that used to be the buildings in which I had Precalculus, English, and Critical Thinking. I miss those buildings.

- I went to Walmart for the sixth time in eight days. I am so tired of going to Walmart.

- I dyed my hair dark burgundy. Yes, all of it.

- I had a dear friend over to say goodbye

- I finished packing!

- I finished a painting

- I watched X2 and drank Dr. Pepper with my siblings

I stopped counting down the days to Reed on Thursday. I finally realized that I was leaving. Now I have to wait until I get to campus for my anticipation to be revamped.

Quoted

Today the summer 2009 edition of the Reed Magazine was posted online! This was a very exciting event for me, as I was interviewed last April and ended up being quoted in a magazine article about the book "Blue Like Jazz". "Blue Like Jazz" talks about Reed quite a bit, so much so that admissions notice the book referenced in quite a few admissions essays. Including mine. Anyways, I'm quoted on page 3 of the article:

It's really nice, because the quote is in context and captures what I was trying to say. And that's about it!

13 more days until I leave...
