Nothing says fun quite like monday night in the ER

So while I was cutting up some fruit for some fruit leather I was working on tonight, I accidently slipped and cut my finger. And thus I am here in the hospital, waiting for them to bring me some paper work to sign. Don’t worry, they didn’t have to amputate and/or sew my skin together. They did apply what the nurse described as “sterlized super glue” to the cut (see pic below taken with my iPhone!). The end.

Everything else, eventually.

I’m back. I’ve been back, actually for about a month now. I could go on about how weird it is being home (yes, it is weird), but I won’t. And I know that I owe you the story of my trip from Norway to Greece. But, as far as I can tell, the only person still reading/has ever read this is “OhcomeonChristyDavis,” and she was with me for most of that trip, so she already knows that story. I hope to get the rest of it written out sometime though. It was A Good Time.

Otherwise, I’m off to Boston for the summer to work on the College Sustainability Report Card. And I guess that means the blog will go back into hiatus, until something really exciting happens. Thanks to all who read!

home again home again

ok i am back now! we took our finals yesterday, had our going away dinner, played croquet in the garden, visited the pub for a final pint (or two or three), ran across the quad (which you are NOT supposed to do!), and then slept for a few hours before getting on the bus to the airport with the plane back to dallas. whew. that was a lot to do in one day.

and it feels so good to be back! i love england, but it’s nice to be home now. i’m getting pumped about school and new classes and a new semester and pigskin and friends and all that. i move back into baylor next week! i can’t believe summer is gone, it feels like just yesterday i was driving back to dallas. but that’s how summer always goes i guess.

anyways, thanks for reading about my summer. i’ll keep posting about any cool stuff i am up to, so check back every now and then. ok, bye.

home again, home again

ahhh…home…it feels good…i got in to dallas yesterday after a long day of travel and almost missed planes. since we last left off, our hero was busy infiltrating the monastery. after a daring escape involving robed monks, throwing knives, car chases, and explosions, i made it alive into northern new jersey, the garden state.

ok, enough of that nonsense. i spent the last few weeks of my appalachian adventure in sussex county of new jersey, running around and talking to people about the trail. it was pretty low-key actually. alot of my time was spent waiting in parking lots along the trail for hikers to come through.

i took a weekend off to go do some backpacking, which was really fun. i hiked about thirty miles through one of the most bear infested section of the AT, but alas, i did not see any bears. except myself. because i am a baylor bear. not funny, i know, but i couldn’t resist!

anyways, i am back home now for a few days before i head out to oxford…holla! it’s going to be so cool, we’re staying in the same place where they filmed a bunch of the interiors from harry potter. being home is really nice, it’s fun to hangout with family and friends and do all my favorite waco/dallas things like riding my bike and eating at hamburger joints. oh, one thing: don’t ever take your computer in to compusa for service! i went in to pick my computer up only to find that they hadn’t fixed anything i had asked them to fix, and on top of that they reformatted my hard drive! it’s not a big deal, i had backups of everything, but it sure is a bigtime hassle. my revenge will be swift and unexpected.

i’ll try to be more punctual with posts when i’m in jolly ole england, and pictures too!
