Cruzin'

so unfortunately no pics yet...still waiting on the trunk to be shipped out.

On sat i landed in san jose and immediately went to get burritos at tacos moreno, a hole in the wall spot but definitely the best carne asada north of the MEXICALI boarder. Wolfed some food, grabbed my board and paddled out at The Hook for a little sunset surf-sesh...an absolutely perfect way to start this adventure.

My mom is working on remodeling the house so it looks like theres gunna be a lot of painting, sanding, and finishing work in my near future. Feels good to help out the family and see the results of my work payoff immediately.

Santa Barbara road trip/highschool crew reunion coming up memorial day weekend and I am still trying to figure out the logistics of an Ireland trip at the end of the month with a handful of kaydets but tickets are pretty expensive because of the late notice. it should still be worth it though.

Pending: my brother graduates highschool in June, roadtrip and backpacking from central california to Alaska. Bahamas at the end of the summer and possibly Lollapolooza music festival in chicago. stay tuned...

sabbatical/good-bye

Most people send some kind of email out to their class...Thomas Harner made a great video...I guess only a management major would make a blog

My hope is to stay in touch with the people i care about at the CGA and kinda let everyone know what the hell im up to so, here goes (and dont worry, its hopefully gunna be more pictures/less words in the future)

Five finals, five days...and the sabbatical check-out sheet which is far more stressful than it needs to be. Almost everything is taken care of and I am getting anxious to leave. I am definitely excited to be taking the time off and i cant wait to get out in the real world and LIVE life more fully. I am gunna miss the hell out of all my friends here and I really hope we stay in touch (the couch is always open guys, fell free to head-on out cali).

The friends i've made here are some of the greatest, most down to earth people you could ask for...I will never forget the great times we've had up in boston, snowboarding in Vermont, playing rugby, football in the snow, Conn trips, parties, formals, and whatever other shit we managed to get ourselves into (and out of). Anyway, Im not gunna make this drawn out or long winded so keep grindin', have a great time this summer, dont forget your roots and make the best outta this 'cuase you only live once.
