DCI competition

Carolina Crown is simply amazing.

A couple friends and I went to go see the DCI competition, and despite the distance we had to drive to get there, we only got a little lost (and by "little," I mean "incredibly"). However, we were able to soon find our way back on track (and by "soon," I mean "after about forty minutes going every direction but the correct one").

Anyway, we only missed two corps, and they weren't any of the good ones so it didn't matter. The rest were mostly great shows, especially Crown and the Crusaders. Surprisingly, the Bluecoats were actually really good too. The only semi-disappointing show was Phantom Regiment. But whatever.

Final score: Crown - 80.5, Bluecoats - 79.9

I love this!

Bug bites? Nope!

I don't get how it happens, but I never get bug bites. Spent hours outside tonight at Sarah's, and not a single bite. This is awesome.

Into the city!

I love love love New York City. And Micmacs. And spending time with awesome friends, despite (because of?) the adventures we have (getting lost in Newark; not being able to open the doors to the train, and running off the train to get to a different door, only to watch the train pull away before we could get back on; attempting to fit three of us through through the metal turnstile in the subway at once because two of our tickets didn't work; etc.). Seriously, you guys are great.

I've been thinking about where I want to live after finishing school a lot lately. I know it's still [at least] three years away, but I don't know. I might want to live abroad in Japan, then move to Florida. Or maybe I'll just end up staying in New Jersey (or the city is acceptable, I could picture myself living there). Maybe I'll end up somewhere else, but who knows. Gahh, huge life decisions like this should not be happening yet!
