Route Home

So I will be leaving Michigan on April 30th around 1:30 pm and arriving in Portland around 11:30. I decided to fly since Jeff will be staying here and bringing my things with him when he goes to Vermont in mid-May.

A few more assignments and packing are left!

Houghton seems to be tearing itself apart at the seems. Chris and Jesse are cycling through to do there reports. Jim is moving to USF. @00 2nd street is getting ready to be disbanded. I always thought I would be coming back to Houghton. Now I don't think I will be and, sadly or not, it doesn't really bother me. I will always have a spot for Houghton in my mind. I realize that coming to Houghton was not to make friends for life and I a just wanted to meet people who valued the same thing I do. I am excited about the Peace Corps and who I will meet. I am ready to say goodbye again. It has become so easy, but it was only two semesters after all.

In preparation for the PC I have been thinking about getting a Flickr account. It is exciting. I like the idea of have all my photos online, being able to store them online, and the geo-referencing feature. If i get 4.5 year it will be just under 50 bucks and I think it will be a good investment since it will be a mobile depository for photos, i.e. no more laptop required. I wish I had one back when I was in Europe.

I am also embedding a photo from the new account as a trial. There is a photo from Tromsø, Norway. Link to my Flickr for a couple other photos.
