Dear Family and Friends,
I have created this blog in order to catalogue my experiences leading up to and during Peace Corps service. As you all may or may not know I will be leaving to the Dominican Republic in August 2011. I intend to learn how to get fancy with this here technology and put pictures up and all that goodness. Until then my words will have to suffice.
At the moment I am finishing up my last week at Brookside Frontier Math and Science School (BF MASS) here in Kansas City, Missouri. Soon I will be doing summer school. Following that I will go on a grand road trip which will end up in Minnesota where my fam and friends reside...Then its off to the DR. Ya tu sabes!
Here is a list of what I will miss about home (I think):
My Mom
My lil Bro
My big Bros
Brittany
Friends
Hot chips
Hip Hop music and culture
American attitude
The gym
Coffee
Daily showers (maybe, cuz ya'll know I'm grimey)
Internet (maybe)
My phone
Being able to frequently download new tunes
Bookstores
Using 35 as an elevator between Missouri and Minnesota
Seeing the suprise on people's face when I tell them I don't have a tv or microwave
White T's
Watching the very strained race relations on the Plaza
PIZZA
Pizza Friday
Giving and receiving Dap
Having a mean shoe game
People watching at the Mall of America
I am sure I will find more things to miss but at the moment thats what I've conjured up.
