City of brotherly love my behind.3pm After a half an hour on the phone whil http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Greensboro/blog-363174.html Today is the second day in Greensboro. On Monday I got here around noon and checked in. However we had all gone out in DC to go bowling and Marek kept buying me delicious Blue Moon pints. Took us an hour to walk home after the ally closed at midnight. Apparently DC blocks take forever to walk. Plus there was a ridiculous moment every other block like begging Dominos guys to reopen for pizza rid http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/North-Carolina/Greensboro/blog-316850.html So the update is that I am in DC right now and have been since Friday. It's been a study abroad reunion for three days involving a really large amount of alcohol. Also a can of pickled herring that made the house smell like vomit. Extra smak.Hopefully tonight we are going to see some of the monuments and other sights of the capital. That's something I would really to do before I leave in the morn http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/District-of-Columbia/Washington/blog-315735.html So what have I doneSince being home I've been working at this house for Steve and Melissa from my mom's office the expeditionary studies department of SUNY Plattsburgh. One of the students from the department has been working with them and helped me get this work so I wouldn't be stuffed in the back office of some company doing the most senseless work possible. I've learned how to run electri http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Adirondacks/Eastern-High-Peaks/blog-301216.html So this is a little bit out of order and sort of overdue but I wanted to write about my time with my family in Warszawa. So many fun things happened that I bet I don't even remember them all. Everything is in my journal that I turned into school so if I have to edit this I will.Most days I just hung out at the house and rested after two such crazy weeks of traveling in Belarus. The first Friday http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Masovia/Warsaw/blog-295382.html So I've been home for a few weeks...still more pictures to post. I haven't heard back about my grade from the Belarus class yet which is a pain.Been working a bit of construction type stuff for a woman my mom works with. Spending some time with the other kids I'm working with actually went out with them the other night to a bar in the Burgh. Wierd for me. Really wierd.Family was up for graduati http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Adirondacks/blog-294845.html I figured I might as well post this. It's a bit more in depth because it is my final paper for this course and for college. It's pretty long but there are memories and stories laced through the whole thing. Mostly I'm posting it for me later on when I want to look back. For two weeks I traveled almost daily on a bus or an airplane. Over this time I also traveled from moment to mom http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Poland/Masovia/Warsaw/blog-285768.html I'm listing this as Belarus since I'll have plenty of time to list for Poland again since today is my first day of that two week vacation. Our trip was fantastic. It started out in Krakow with some typical large group drama. We had about a million walking tours and went to Aushwitz as well. After 3 days there we flew back to Warszawa to take another flight to Minsk. Both the Minsk airport and Krak http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Belarus/Minsk-Voblast/Minsk/blog-285727.html So graduation is the next step in this summer's travels. I know I didn't have to go anywhere for it but still it changes who I am.I'm sick for the 3 days between graduation and my trip to Europe. I'm really excited for this trip even though half of it is for a class. My family is excited to see me and that makes me happy. Alright a few pictures and then I have to keep packing. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/New-York/Adirondacks/blog-278679.html Alright. Here's the game plan.
