Pre-Departure Orientation today! My French classmate, Lisa, says it's pretty fun so I'm looking forward to it.

It's sort of settling in that I'll be leaving in August, but I'm still not grasping just how long I'll be gone. It still feels like maybe I'll be gone for an awesome 2 week vacation. I keep hearing about people who go over to France and find someone, so I'm pretty excited about that, haha. Can you blame me?

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will be playing at Music on the Half Shell on August 2nd. I'm so incredibly excited! I loved hearing them in Kirkland, WA and have been dying to watch them again.

It's the start of week.... 7 or 8 in school? I'm not sure, all I know is that summer is fast approaching.

Tomorrow I'll be headed to Smith Rock for geology class. I can't wait. It's going to be a good day exercising and exploring some geological formations.
