Getting Started

So I should be writing my senior speech right now. But instead I'm googling stuff about Venezuela and looking at pictures of the national parks and stuff there. That got me thinking about next year obviously and that reminded me of a comment Ben Liska made about how I should keep a blog or write a blog or whatever the terminology is for it, while I'm there. And a bunch of people liked his comment. (fbook) so now I'm a little early but that's ok. I can't decide if I should be capitalizing letters, using correct punctuation, etc on this. I guess the point of a blog is that you can do whatever you want with it. Hm. We'll see. It'll probably change every time I write. Which probably won't be too often at least for now since I'm still seated safely in a comfy chair in my living room. I am excited for this upcoming year though. Today is Mother's Day and my dad mentioned something about how when he took a year off and lived in colorado he made it a point to be home by Mother's Day. So I'm thinkin that's what I'll do next year. Be home by May 13th? I think it was the 13th. That sounds good. I can stay until my birthday and then come home. So a year from now I'll still be in Venezuela, getting ready to leave. Hopefully really good at spanish. having made a bunch of friends. learned a lot. taught some people english and helped people. traveled to brazil. traveled lots of places. done that traveling by myself and know that I can be independent. see some cool stuff. not hate bugs quite so much. get tan? let's be honest i probably wont be tan but i can dream. well this was an interesting first blog post. i kinda like it though. maybe i'll get into this. but then again maybe not. until next time.
