this is my first time on this new blog and it makes me excited and nervous all at once.

i met the old man who lives across the street from my parents last night. he told me the world was going to end in 2018, and that i better visit israel before then. also, i should read the first five chapters of the book of revelations before i went to sleep-- and just in case i couldn't sleep i should watch some bible inspired late night tv to educate myself.

who knew?

there is a dove (or is it a pigeon?) who has made a nest in one of my mom flower pots. the pot is right outside the back door and everytime i go outside the it just stares at me. it freaks me out.

i am currently making a post graduate to-do list. right now it is mostly things i want to learn more about. this includes but is not limited to:

-water: rivers, deltas, dams, and aquifers

-fruit flies

-boomarangs

- china and the cultural revolution

-the chesepeake bay

i also want to read more short stories

love love love
