If I faithfully retold everything that has been happening over the past three months, Blogger might implode from the amount of code. I was too wrapped up in projects, essays, vocabulary tests, volleyball games, trips to Six Flags (ok, just one), progress reports, packing, and traveling the world to stop and write. I would like to share a sense of the many wonderful experiences I have had, though, so I decided to boil each down to haiku. Here we go.
Ah - one more thing first. I've taken too many photos to share, but you'll find more pictures on Facebook. You can access albums here:

I'm definitely going to give this blog post a 10 on the creativity scale. Well done! Maybe I should start writing haikus about seals and Michael Jackson thriller videos.
