Dust off the blog for the summer
7:57 PM
My blog has been sitting in some random parts of the intranets for the past year. Think of it far far away in the boon sticks, to the right of a trailer, under a beer and next to these guys. Wait, that's where I am now and I'm going to be leaving tomorrow on a long journey, whilst the reason I am blogging again.
Anyway I should catch you up on to what I've been doing for the summer. I opted to come home after graduation and save a few deniro for my up coming internship back in Beantown, MA. This decision had it's draw backs, mind you. The girlfriend had an internship in a undisclosed location, in a undisclosed lab and working with an undisclosed project that might be America's next lethal weapon (where, I'm sure, tax payer dollars will be put to good use). Yeah, it was hard without her around to enjoy time with and the sights of the oh so "wonderful" Upstate New York, but for our hard ship comes great rewards. A trip 2 week excursion to Vietnam!!! My summer I first thought was going to be pretty boring staying home everyday playing guitar and "trying" to be productive, but I lucked out and got two jobs: one working at my mom's work scanning 20,000 reports (20,000 reports= ~50,000 papers= 100 reams of paper= 5.8 trees ((reams = tree equation courtesy of wikianswers.com))), and working with two wonderful boys.
First, the scanning was a mindless job but I saved some trees from being cut down and created more space for my mom's work. I should of taken a picture of the destruction I created. 10 boxes of madness piled up unevenly. If you just walked down the hall with the paper, you might mistaken the office as Home Depot and be horribly unhappy to find it's a dog genetics lab.
Second, the job working with the boys was great. It was a little hard working 5.5 hours doing mindless work then testing my patience with the boys, but it was worth it. Who wouldn't like going to the lake every day after the office job swimming and throwing rocks, or spinning a boy that can spin for hours and never get sick? Well, If you can't put up with getting peed on, cleaning dirty bottoms and getting hummus thrown in your face occasionally, then yeah you would mind going to the lake every day. There were more perks, too. Perk #473 was watching as both the boys gradually began to communicate more with hand gestures and sign language which was awesome. I even witnessed the unthinkable when D sat down and took a number two. You should have seen his mom come over and tackle him with love and kisses, think Terry Tate but with love. I will miss the boys but hopefully I'll see them when I get home!
The next step of my journey begins tomorrow where I fly to Baltimore, pick up a suv, drive an hour and a half to Kathy.
Sunday we drive to Boston, Monday we fly to Cali and Tuesday at 1am we fly to Vietnam and arrive Wednesday. The next 4 days will be interesting. Check back later for Vietnam updates if we have access to internet.

I love the new layout, dear. Very appropriate for our getaway. By the way, sorry to be correcting your grammar, but I work in AN undisclosed lab. I'm sure you know that ;)
