So we’re back online. There was a behind-the-scenes problem with hosting. I’m still heated, and that means you should be too — because we’re going to say that I would’ve been posting this whole time, k?

I turned twenty-four (thaaaank youuuu all for the well-wishing), finished a semseter (whatever the outcome), made visits in Richmond and Charlottesville, and moved into my Dad’s all in the same week. I slept some, too.

This year I’ve done just about anything to get out of Fairfax. Now that I’m in Springfield, and have some space to myself I can scheme up more ways to leave the county.

Monday I’ll be in Buckeystown, MD for this Leadershape thing until Friday. Felix and I are going to Boston to see Jose, the genius, graduate from Harvard Medical in early June. My new friend Kristin is doing a cross-country trip and I might join her when I get back.

Chile is still the plan for July. Argentina is the pitstop before the program. Peru will hopefully be a detour later on in the year.
