Home
What a busy but fun past few days. It was graduation weekend at UNC-Wilmington and my girlfriend walked the stage into the void…the void of being a working adult with a college degree. In addition to her ceremonies, I was able to drop in on the anthropology department and see most of my professors. It is hard to believe that it has already been one year since I graduated. The past two semesters have flown by at the speed of light and if I’m lucky, the next year and a half will do the same. Being in Wilmington this past weekend made me miss it even more, to the point that I got those pangs in my stomach when I thought about going back to Tampa. The memory of so many good times and so many good friends is too much to bear sometimes, but we can’t stay in college forever (even though I am trying to!). Wilmington really is one of the greatest cities in the country and I would be as happy as I could be living there and settling down.
I head back to Tampa on Wednesday to get ready for five weeks in Honduras. I have quite a bit of planning to do, not to mention the actual packing and purchasing of supplies. I bought a digital camera online today, a Canon Powershot A700, one of their newest models. It’s an awesome 6.0 megapixels with 6x optical zoom. I got a great deal on www.buydig.com, about $70 cheaper than Best Buy and Circuit City. I’m counting on the zoom coming in handy while getting some shots of the wildlife and nature. Should arrive by Wednesday so I’ll try to get some test shots posted from the local park before I leave.
