Penn State Thing

Well.  I wanted to take a minute today to talk about the whole Penn State thing.  It's disappointing to say the least that all of this is happening.  I wish that Joe Paterno had gone to the police when this originally happened.  It would have prevented a huge amount of grief on his part.

Steve Jobs' Death

Saddened by the news. Love this quote.

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Apple Inc.

Heading to GVSU

So I'm going to GVSU this fall.  Got in!

Zhengs left for China

Well Fan and Peter just left.  Lately, my blog posts are so rare that they seem to only occur at major points. I suppose you could call this a major point in the scope of this year at least.  They are headed back to Fuzhou until August 31 at which point they will return.  I am going to miss them a lot and I regret that I won't be able to see them on a daily basis anymore.  I have gained so much knowledge in this past year and I'm going to miss having them around. (Wait, I've already said that, right?)  It needs to be said multiple times.
The baby of course went with them.  I took pictures of them as they were packing up.  I helped them get the bags to the MetroCar.  I reminded them to take everything off of the porch.  A few minutes ago I heard someone bounding up the steps and I ran out to the stairwell hoping they forgot something.  Nothing.  I suppose my imagination must have gotten the better of me.  Wishful thinking perhaps.  Well they should arrive within two days and I will email them now and be ready to skype them later.

Trois

Today was a significant day, and I didn't want to forget it.  Started at around 6:30 and ended at 11:30.

First Sail of the year

Well last weekend, my parents, the Zhengs(my Chinese exchange student friends), and I decided to go sailing on celebration.  It was the first sail of the year and a lot of fun because the Zhengs had never gone sailing.  After going sailing we had a light/late lunch at the formal grille.  Then we went back to the dock and sat around and played cards for a while before going to the pool where we swam for around 45 minutes before eating dinner at the dock party/meeting.  Overall it was a lot of fun!

My Sister's Birthday!

Happy birthday to my sister.

Today

So I haven't posted in a while, so I wanted to update everyone.  Right now I'm really sick with a bad cold.  Earth Day is coming up and I wanted to tell you about that.  It's 82 degrees out right now.  Dying of heat stroke but at least the heat seems to have cleared my sinuses.

Long Time, No Post

Well it's been a long time since I've posted.  I have noticed that since I began mico-blogging on Facebook, I really haven't used BOJ as much to express my thoughts.  I want to continue doing that.  I have just gotten used to doing less and less in terms of posting.
