It's been nearly three years since I published a blog post, and in those three years nearly every part of my life has changed. When I think about the person that wrote blog posts here in 2016 and before, it really feels like a completely different person.
I'd love to get back into blogging again. It's a great way to encapsulate how I felt and what I was thinking about at a particular point in time, and a good way to update family and friends about what I'm up to.
Right now, I simply don't have the time or energy to get back into blogging though. I'm currently 2 months away from graduating with my BA in English. I currently have four different jobs, and between them work somewhere between 35 and 45 hours any given week. I'm looking for new apartments to move into and need to start looking for a new car soon as well. There's a lot going on.
My hope is that during the summer, once I've finished school and things begin to calm down a little, I will have time to write about some of the things I've done over the last 3 years. I recently spent 3 weeks in West Africa, and I have lots of thoughts and stories to share about that experience, when I have the time.
I'll be back soon (I hope)!

Friday May 22, 2015 {Western Washington University}
1. Got up and got ready. Took the bus to school. Stopped at Cafe Avellino (a little coffee shop right by WCC) for a chai tea latte on my way to school. I love that place, but I don't go there often because I don't have that kind of money.
2. Despite stopping, I still got to class 15 minutes early. The door was locked today, so I had to wait outside the classroom for Bernie, the teacher, to get there. Geology class today was about "mass movement:" landslides, rock slides, mud flows, etc. Apparently we aren't allowed to call them "mudslides" because mud is a liquid, and liquids can't slide, they flow. So it's a mud flow, and a rock slide.
3. After class, C. and I hung out as per the usual. We talked about various things, including this game called agar.io. Click that link at your own risk. Seriously, it's an odd game, and because people get to choose their own names, very often not at all family friendly. We also talked about lots of other random things.
4. C. left for class, but my English class was canceled, so I sat in Syre for another hour. I saw my friend Jake multiple times when he walked by. Once, he told me about a hilarious (and not appropriate for young audiences) tarot reading he had just gotten, another time he showed me a glass eyeball he had found in the lost and found, and then the last time I was staring at him as he walked down the stairs and he threatened to throw quarters at me. Hey, free money! :P I have weird friends.
5. I left WCC and headed to Western. We started by going to meet with an admissions counselor, and then went on a campus tour.
6. This is the part where I should probably talk about how I feel about WWU, but I am so conflicted about it. In a lot of ways, I really, really like it. They have a good English department, their travel opportunities are good, and as a homeschool student, I feel like it would be pretty easy to apply there. The problem is that it's literally 15 minutes away from home. I do know that if I go there, I don't want to live at home, but that seems kind of irresponsible. Why spend another $10,000 a year if I don't have to. After visiting today, I can say Western is certainly in my top three or four, and might even be my top choice if only it weren't so close to home.
8. After that, we came home and had dinner. Then we walked down to the convenience store two blocks away to buy ice cream bars.
9. We went home, I did some homework, then did nothing for a little while.
10. Mom and I spent a while trying out the "net price calculators" on the websites of a few different colleges. I know that you can't put too much stock in those, but it was interesting to see what they estimated I would get in scholarships and such. It's also a bit terrifying.
11. Watched Doctor Who, read Jane Eyre, went to bed.
