school’s out for the summer

So school is finally over, the grads are graduated, and the moving out is complete. I have one more night in my dorm room, and then its goodbye to Oakwood forever. The nostalgic in me wants to conjure some sadness over leaving a place I will never be able to visit again, but truly I will not miss living in Oakwood dormitory. Upon its imminent destruction in August, I will stop by and smile.

As I have finished classes and finals, I realize that I need to slow things down. So that is how I plan to approach the summer. Taking it easy, realizing that I cannot possibly do everything, I will travel Europe, live and work in Haiti, and return to Harrisonburg for a new school year. I hope to take everything in slowly, breathing deeply and fully of my experiences.

Tonight I went with Kari Martin to see Switchfoot in concert in Charlottesville, VA. It was so much more than I expected, Switchfoot is so much more powerful in concert than on CD. Here are some pictures/videos. We were far away and used a point-and-shoot, so the pictures are blurry/pixelated.
