London 2012 Opening Ceremony

Yesterday, in celebration of the opening ceremony, my friends and I had a party to watch it all together.  We sang karaoke, played Fruit Ninja, and even played with Legos before the big moment finally came.  Yes, we are all in high school. :)  We were very into the Olympic spirit, so please enjoy this picture of some of the flags of the world that we built completely out of Legos.  We felt pretty awesome haha.

As promised, Wheaton College pictures...

 Blanchard Hall, the oldest building on campus

C.S. Lewis's actual wardrobe, which supposedly inspired his book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.  I was so excited!

College visits!

So, in a kind of late notice sort of way, my family decided to go and visit one of my prospective colleges - Wheaton College. It was a great experience to really be able to see a college firsthand. The campus was nice,and the people there were even nicer. I could really honestly see myself going there, and it's not too far from home either, which is nice. Pictures are forthcoming soon (I promise)! Sincerely, A College-Visting, Self-Proclaimed Nerd

I feel terrible...

I think I've been worse at posting during in the summer than I was during the school year, and I'm really sorry. I'm actually going off to summer camp tomorrow, and I won't be back until Saturday. I'll try and let you know how it was when I gt back, though! Work has been great so far, by the way. Working at a daycare is harder than some people might think, but it's pretty rewarding work. Anywhoo, I'll talk to you all when I get back! Sincerely, An Employed, Camping Self-Proclaimed Nerd

REALLY late pictures from my college tour

So, I know I posted a few pictures from my college tour before, but here's the rest of them!  Sorry for the delay!  The first two are from Harvard, and the last two were taken in the middle of Times Square (we ended our trip there).  Enjoy!
