well, im back.

ok well for those that didn't know, I'm back in the states so i guess my blogging days are over.

sum of the story: the title lived up to itself, that was, the best year of my life.

frankreich...

Ich fahre morgen nach Frankreich, um meine Freundin Mady zu besuchen. Das heißt ich werde wahrscheinlich Nichts schreiben. Hoffentlich ist das bei euch schon okay...weil ich nicht viel Zeit noch habe und ich würde lieber halt die Zeit mit meinen Freunden verbringen. Alles wird jetzt so traurig, aber das Wetter ist richtig geil. Aber hammer schwüll ey!

To make that short...I'm going to France tomorrow, Nantes, to visit Mady, who was last year in Redding as a Rotary exchange student. And I get back next week and may not even post much more because then I will have less than 2 weeks left and so therefor would rather spend time with my friends and people here before I leave....

just a little busy...

ok I have been really quite busy in the lately...sorry I havent posted. My time is kinda crammed full of always having something to do because well ja Im comin home in about 3 weeks. Ok well I havent been that terribly terribly busy, but my camera has also been freaking out..and mom, its working again, i can take pictures, except the display is completely gone...cracked, weird black and white shapes. But i did mess around with photoshop yesterday and made these pictures...one of me taken in amsterdam and the other is of amsterdam, a canal, pic taken on a bridge at night. but ja, there they are..and so i was just droppin in to say hi and that things are good. :)
